Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, FutureKind heralds a new era of Electronica music. Drawing equal inspiration from pop, trip-hop, jazz, dub, and world music, the four-piece band has been compared to Massive Attack, Portishead, and Zero 7, though none of these comparisons accurately describe FutureKind's unique sound. Gabriel Santa Cruz's rhythmic, percussive programming provides excellent counterpoint to his soaring guitar work and Thalia Williams' subtle yet alluring vocals. This infused with Frankie Escalante's deep basslines and Ben Dumbauld's dynamic, jazzy drumming makes FutureKind's music innovative and experimental, yet at the same time organic and melodic. Live, FutureKind seamlessly mixes warm sequences with multi-instrumental performance, utilizing keyboards, vibraphone, and percussion to provide an experience that lovers of all types of music will enjoy.
Futurekind has shared the stage w/: International & National Acts: Husky Rescue, Asobi Seksu, Mosquitos, Oppenheimer, Judah Johnson, Maria Taylor, Six Parts Seven, Voxtrot,Au Revoir Simone, and Bishop Allen
Media Says: If you've ever read author Tom Wolfe's seminal classic "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" you'll love FutureKind.
