Beautiful harmonies. Confusing time signature shifts. Pointed but absurdist purposeful piss-taking. Take. My. Money, Falco.

this is what most songs should sound like. and then every seventh song can be a ballad or something by starving aartist kanye west.

Not finished properly - should serve as a reminder to finish properly.

If I had the patience to finish with you I truly would believe me.

Music For An Incidental Audience
Arles sur Tech, Pyrenees Orientales France, January 2010
Using recordings we made of a XVII century organ at the local Saint Mary Abbey, and field recordings of the river Tech, we composed a series of two to four minute sound pieces. These were transmitted every half hour through the loudspeaker announcement system located in the streets of the town centre of Arles sur Tech for a duration of ten days. We thereby transmitted the sound of the historic organ for the first time into a public space outside of the abbey and also outside of conventional listening environments where a strictly focused listening experience is intended. This allowed the audience (passersby) the freedom to choose to focus their listening on the music as either foreground or background. It was my intention that the music played back quietly through the loudspeakers would be as easily ignorable as interesting, and that the borders between the natural sounds of the environment and the music become blurred.

Protocol: Extinction

Is it a bird? No. Is it a plane? No. Is it a single? No. Is it a song from the new future of the left album? Yes. Yes it is. It's the sixth song, by the way, if that kind of thing matters to you (it does to us). We hope you like it but if not thousands of other bands are available. 

Here is a link to our band Facebook page (where you will also find ticket links for our upcoming UK tour - PLEASE NOTE these are only live from 4pm GMT) https://www.facebook.com/futureoftheleft/
