FUTURE CAVEMEN will continue his ascendance this Spring with the confirmation of a new EP: ‘II’, out 25 March 2022 via the Tough Candy imprint.
Marking a vital next step in his evolution, the Bath-based solo artist AKA Joe Tennant teases the release with its captivating lead single: “Gypsy Curse”.
Shouldering a Dandy Warhols-eseque leather-clad cool and vortexing synthesisers straight out of a retro arcade game that Grandaddy would surely approve-of, “Gypsy Curse” is a bewitching alternative-rock cut that will ensnare from the moment go.
Written in a flat-share in an unassuming London estate, it would be the chance acquisition of a vintage synthesiser from a stranger on GumTree that would take “Gypsy Curse” out of its humdrum setting and transform it into something otherworldly. As Tennant says:
Lyrically, it’s partly autobiographical, part truth, part fiction… I had just purchased a vintage synth (my first synth) from a middle aged man on Gumtree - seemed like a good deal. I remember carrying it home with the bus, it was extremely bulky.”
I had just left the garage rock band I was in and was transitioning to computer recording software. I was starting to experiment with some electronic sounds, trying (unsuccessfully) to veer away from rock.”
With “Gypsy Curse” out on all streaming platforms now, standby for further news and releases from Future Cavemen in the weeks to come…
