A fantastic new album.

MojoAlthough [Future Songs] reveals no radical reinvention, it does see them stretching their creative legs. [Jul 2001, p.96]

Lyrics aside, there's nothing distinctly unappealing or half-assed about this album.... It just feels awfully familiar.

Future Songs is minimalist and alien, haunted and pained: like a bloodless Cocteau Twins.
