"Dark and jarring but not dance-floor averse, the Brooklyn/Chicago trio These Are Powers make their debut for the respected Dead Oceans label.
If you’re one of the many who’ve been pummeled (and liked it!) by TAP’s chaotically compelling live gigs, then All Aboard Future is your train and we suggest you get on it (not under it).
While the monkey-see, monkey-repeat Internet (you know who you are, Internet) tends to hurl knee-jerk genre-markers like “No Wave” and “postpunk” at These Are Powers, All Aboard Future is too slippery to be pinned down like that; the trio puts an electro-primitive stamp on industrial music, sometimes suggesting a less-smeary Gang Gang Dance exiled to a world that gets 10 minutes of sunshine a day (in the summer).
Adventurous club DJ’s ought to be making “Easy Answers” into a left-field hit, though we’re partial to stormier excursions like “Light After Sound.”
It’s worth noting the attention paid to All Aboard Future’s packaging—the band invited 11 artists and one writer to contribute work—in an age when music tends to live in a virtual state." (M.L. Thrope)
