Future Generations released their latest album Landscape this Fall and have just returned to their Brooklyn home-base after a massive US tour where they played to packed rooms across the U.S. Today, they release the video for the album's title track which was premiered via Ones to Watch who say 'The title track is both lush and rhythmically skittish, while Future Generations explores a refreshed sound beyond their previous efforts originated on their first record. On this go around, the five-piece act display a wealth of hooky melodies, which is immediately accessible for the listener at hand. Through their grand style and spirited disposition, the band exhibits the intricacies of life, relationships, and artistic discoveries in meaningful and enlightened manners. Bridging the gap between sunbaked synth lines and the innermost fibers of indie rock, “Landscape” channels a cornucopia of echoes all while providing the song a distinctive pulse to carry on with.'
