Synthwave fans rejoice! A vibrant and strikingly nostalgic album has made its way to you. We are referring to Futurecop!’s latest offering ‘Wind, Town & Flowers’, a slice of synth-driven goodness packed with emotive vocals and a heightened nocturne, neon-lit mood. In truth, the record is nostalgic up to a point; as the Manchester-based creative’s moniker implies, there’s a whole heap of futuristic flair in it, an otherworldly, eclectic vibe that makes the album rather unconventional.
Drawing from Japanese TV soundtracks and the wider hyper-pop scene, ‘Wind, Town & Flowers’ goes beyond synthwave, embracing an aural and cultural space that’s unique and uplifting. Honestly, this is a fantastic record. Tracks such as ‘Over the Hills’ are packed with epic poignancy, walking the fine line between euphoria and melancholy. Known by day as Manzur Iqbal, Futurecop! caters to our 80s-lenient fantasies with bold originality; what more could you wish for?
Delving deeper into ‘Wind, Town & Flowers’, Futurecop! explains: “This is my most expansive and refined work yet, both in production and in storytelling through music. I wanted to capture that warm, nostalgic feeling with modern sounds, blending synth-driven melodies with cutting-edge production, like the soundtrack to a movie that doesn’t exist.”
