A Difficult Future

With their signature horn-like and buzzing moog completely replacing the vocals, a shimmering foregrounded guitar unveiled from the depths of reverbs past, and the full integration of guest Wurlitzer and keyboard wizard, Jason Terchin, The Timeout Drawer have restated their sound. Tactful melodies guide you through corridors of pop refrains, moody sedation, ambient jazz sessions, heated emotional fits, and catchy anthem rock. These nine new carefully structured songs lend an original subtext to the post-rock/electronic genre, with nods to the dry instrumentation and rock grandeur of Mogwai, the melancholic and heartfelt guitar work of early Cure, and the misinterpreted yet emotive jazz renderings of a fifth-grade music class. Sad, yet optimistic and upbeat, "A Difficult Future" is a montage of emotional stirrings and daydreamed adventures.
