Artist: Future Of The Left
Album: Travels With Myself And Another
Label: 4AD / Beggars Group
Genre: Alternative/Punk
Album Review
The raucous chorus of "Arming Eritrea" finds Andy Falkous screaming "I'm an adult! I'm an adult!" with the sort of grating, unrefined energy that made Les Savy Fav famous. While that energy is indicative of the rest of Travels With Myself, the sentiment is not. Between their relentless riffing, unbridled punk overtures, lyrical inanity and rare keyboard-chaperoned ventures into noise pop, the Welch trio still manages to sound like it's sound-tracking a teenage riot. The pandemonium and hyperbole from Curses are there, particularly on tracks like "Arming Eritrea" and the mid-album "Land of My Formers." As for adulthood, Future of the Left thankfully left that to less energetic musicians.
