Near Future will release their debut album Ideal Home on 25th May, 2018. The collaboration between Blancmanges Neil Arthur and solo electronic artist Bernholz (who also performs live as part of Gazelle Twin) dates back a couple of years. Files were swapped, sounds and lyrics re-wired, and Ideal Home is the gloriously minimal result. The album is icy and detached; beautiful and otherworldly; Bernholzs spoken word monologue on Dawn sounding like a warning signal from the subconscious, while digitised electronics usher in some of Neil Arthurs most intimate vocals. www.facebook.com/futureisnear
