Future Of The Left’s upcoming album, ‘The Plot Against Common Sense’, will be the group’s third full-length release. Teased with the ‘Polymers Are Forever’ EP released in late 2011, this album will expand on the band’s razor sharp and brash sound. Pitchfork proclaimed, “It’s been far, far too long since we last heard from Welsh rabblerousers Future of the Left, with 2009’s awesome ‘Travels With Myself and Another’ being their last missive.”
Three years later, Future of the Left is ready to release new material under a new label and with a new lineup. The quartet parted ways with 4AD last year and welcomed Julia Ruzicka (bass) to the FOTL crew, which currently consists of former Mclusky members and FOTL cofounders, Andrew Falkous (vocals and guitar) and Jack Egglestone (drums), as well as Jimmy Watkins (guitar). “This certainly isn’t the sound of a shaken band though: time away from the studio has seen the members dig further into their unclassifiable, noisy nook” said BBC.com of ‘Polymers Are Forever’.
With the full-length’s release date fast-approaching, “perennial industry curmudgeons” should rejoice, said CMJ. Fans’ smiles should be extended even further with news of Future of the Left’s upcoming worldwide tour plans spanning 2012.
