Milwaukee Wisconsin’s Body Futures recently release their debut via Latest Flame Records. The band combine flawless pop sensibilities with full-speed-ahead rock dynamics, punctuated with insanely catchy choruses and utilizing unconventional instrumentation (effect-driven autoharp?) to produce a sound at once naggingly familiar and indefinable.
Vocalist Dixie Jacobs (who doubles on the aforementioned autoharp and synthesizer) provides crystal-clear vocal melodies, offset by drummer D.J. Hostettler’s slightly more unhinged call-and-response rejoinders. Hyperactive bassist Michael Wojtasiak and dextrous guitarist Christopher Maury provide clusters of harmonies, creating a multifaceted wall of sound.
The band continue to play shows in support of the record, and here are some they have on the books:
8/28 – Chicago, IL @ Livewire w/Whales, The Paver, The Columbines
8/29 – Louisville, KY @ Louie’s Trophy House Grill w/ the Rutabega, Dumbelievers, Disastronaut
8/30 – South Bend, IN @ The No-Coast Social w/the Rutabega
8/31 – Racine, WI @ McAuliffe’s On The Square w/Foulmouth, Sleepcomesdown
9/5 – Milwaukee, WI @ Turner Hall – Mondo Lucha
