About The Futureheads
Artist Biography
Since emerging as part of the "angular movement" of post-punk-inspired bands from the U.K. in the early 2000s, the Futureheads have had a distinctive take on that tradition. While the influence of Wire, XTC, and Gang of Four was unmistakable in their spiky guitars and concise songwriting, the intricacy of their music -- which included four-part harmonies and unconventional song structures -- was all their own. On 2004's The Futureheads (which included their exhilarating cover of Kate Bush's "Hounds of Love"), their winning mix of rawness and sophistication offered a breath of fresh air. They always gave this sound different nuances, adding intimacy on 2006's News and Tributes, streamlining it on 2008's This Is Not the World and stripping it bare on 2012's a cappella album Rant. Despite taking a hiatus for much of the 2010s, the joyous vitality of the Futureheads' music was in rude health on 2019's Powers.
