The future is broken. Technology has triumphed. The machines and their algorithms in the clouds, have already won. WE are the product. But in a desolate, abandoned and post-apocalyptic landscape of broken devices, empty batteries, and dead screens… a black angel… rises. 

The Wrong Future is the 7th album from Ugress, your favorite courier of dark, dystopian and dancy electronica to countless clubs, stages, festivals, films, TV shows and video games. Ugress has consistently presented a playful and mad-sciencey retro-flirt with “the gloomy future” – and oh, WTF... it happened. 

The Wrong Future is a heartbroken love letter to a naive dream of quirky B-movie sci-fi futures… that has become our reality. The album is released digitally and on vinyl on April 13th, through the artists own indie label Uncanny Planet. Distribution by Phonofile / The Orchard / Musikkoperatørene.

Composed, arranged, performed, programmed and produced by Gisle Martens Meyer. Additional composition by Þorkell Sigurbjörnsson on "The Little Cloud...". Vocals on "There Is No Here, Here" by The Internet. Vocals on "Mending A Tear In The Fabric Of The Nigh" by Annlaug Børsheim.  Lyrics on "All Watched Over..." by Richard Brautigan. Lyrics on "The Little Cloud..." by Kolbeinn Tumason.
