Originating from Oxford during the vibrant musical landscape of the mid-1980s, Future>Now emerged as a daring new voice within the UK's synth-pop scene. With pulsating rhythms, shimmering synthesizer melodies, and introspective lyrics, the Oxford-based band swiftly gained recognition for their innovative sound and evocative storytelling. Between 1985 and 1989, they released a series of singles, EPs, and compilation tracks that encapsulated the zeitgeist of a decade defined by neon aesthetics, nostalgia, and futuristic visions.

However, as the 80s drew to a close, so too did Future>Now's journey. The band members parted ways, each pursuing their individual creative endeavors. For fans, their disbandment left a void, but it wasn't the end of their story.

In 2013, nearly three decades after their formation, Future>Now reunited with renewed energy and fresh ideas. Their first full-length album, The Opal City (2015), served as both a nostalgic time capsule and a bold statement of reinvention. Seamlessly blending remastered classics with brand-new material, the album celebrated their roots while showcasing their artistic growth.

This unique approach became the band's signature, carried forward in their subsequent releases: Lost in the Haze (2019) and Welcome to the Basement (2023). Each album continued to weave together the threads of past and present, offering listeners a rich tapestry of sound that bridged decades and genres.

Today, Future>Now stands as a testament to the enduring power of synth-pop and the timelessness of their craft. With a loyal fan base spanning generations, the band continues to explore new sonic frontiers while honoring the legacy of their origins, captivating audiences with their unique blend of nostalgia and innovation.
