Curses
Too Pure
INDIE
FUTURE OF THE LEFT consists two ex-members of the now defunct mclusky and one ex-member of the now defunct Jarcrew.
The snarling vocals/guitar are those of Mr Andy Falkous, the relentless drumming that of Mr Jack Egglestone (both mclusky) and the mesmeric bass lines those of Mr Kelson Louis Tregurtha Mathias, who also provides backing vocals.
“Curses,” then, finds Future of the Left in combative mood. Consisting of 14 tracks and clocking in at 37 minutes, it’s certainly an intense listen. It’s an album that takes no prisoners.
Mclusky released three albums, (two of them recorded by Steve Albini), and toured Australia twice to much love and acclaim.
Andy was responsible for some of mclusky’s best loved songs, played some cracking guitar and barked out some hilarious but that’s not to say brilliant lyrics .
Some non-musical influences on “Curses”: The Wire (series one and three), The Shield, Sunday Roast, Curb Your Enthusiasm, red pesto, and ‘I’m From Hollywood’ - the biopic of famous woman-wrestling Saturday Night Live comedian Andy Kaufman.
