The Future Is Among Us by Moderna
Lost in time
With seven tracks, recorded over as many years, The Future Is Among Us is Moderna's perfectly formed debut album. With no room for filler, each reveals an alternative facet of the Brave New Rave boss's background, from the brawny bass on toughed-up Prince cover I Would Die 4 U, to the Glam swagger and rhythm on Pappenhaimer, to the cold monotone on Love Is Love's narrative: 'the floor is our place, don't fuck with our space' (a clear nod to Adult.). At just over half an hour in length, it demands repeat listens, especially as the last two tracks, Blades and Lost at Heart are such joyously catchy Electronic Pop tracks.
