Very atmospheric. Definitely a soundtrack looking for a film. My only gripe is it seems pretty short for an album.

Freedom like a warm wind on the coast of being human

Radiohead.Pink Floyd. Portishead. This album is epic in the same way. The sound is as a freedom like a warm wind on the coast of being human. I actually cried while listening. Beautiful. Important album.

Deep and intense, Redhooker's "The Future According to Yesterday" is a solemn and gorgeous piece of classical/electric fusion. While an electric piano lumbers along, plodding through dusty chords and resonating in dark caverns of reverb, strings and woodwinds dart through, leaving remnants of their flighty character in wide swaths of color. Not your traditional quartet, the ensemble consists of a clarinet, a violin, a Rhodes, and an electric guitar, all precise and lamenting. It's easy to get caught up in emotion as the players spin tales of the urban Manhattan cityscape, shriveling from human contact, but longing to be held. It's easy to get hung up on the landscape of the decrepit oceanside village that may harbor a secret or three. These are the songs that speak the darker truth of human life, ringing in the ears of of the facade-bearing city-dwellers, and rolling through the hulls of the small boats put out to paddle the sea. It's perfect soundtrack music.
