Future Of The Left – Man Vs. Melody (2012)

November 14, 2024

After the strange Polymers EP I did not have high hopes for the Man vs. Melody EP. I was therefore very pleasantly surprised by how good it was. “Future Child Embarrassment Matrix” and “He is Not a Hymn” are some of the heaviest FOTL tracks I’ve heard, particularly the former which reminds me of Blackjazz-era Shining of all things. The latter has that Every Time I Die / Daughters kinda anxious heaviness; again not something I would usually associate with Future Of The Left. Refreshing!
