Pax Futura (CD)
With the long-playing album succumbing to today's single song downloadable world, Oliver Future's Pax Futura is refreshingly anachronistic. Filled with mini-suites and recurring themes, Oliver Future and acclaimed producer Adam Lasus have created an album in the biggest sense of the word. From the first winsome notes of opener "The Many Things I Am Aware Of," to the manic closer "The Slow Fast," the record brims with intensity and highlights the band's impressive range. Songs fade into each other like scenes from a film as frontman Noah Lit muses on topics such as the apocalypse, politics, failed romance and natural disaster.![]()

| This is a great band - amazing energy and songwriting on this record. I played "the stranger" about 1000 times in a row one night driving around LA. I've seen them live a couple times in and around LA too and the live show really connects. | |

| Really catchy songs - smart lyric ideas too. It's hard to listen to just a few tracks - it wants to be heard as the whole album, what a concept! | |
