Album DescriptionAvailable in:
Future Dust is the sophomore album by British alternative rock band, The Amazons. The album was released on 24 May 2019 through Fiction Records and Universal Music Group.
Background
Inspiration for writing the album came when the band was in Three Cliffs Bay near Swansea, Wales. Matt Thomson described the experience as "very idyllic, somewhere you can get lost and, because there isn't a huge amount of signal, we really felt cut off from the world." Thomson said the isolation of Three Cliffs helped the band form a bond again and escape technology. "In a positive way, because we got some time and space to gain a bit of perspective and a real sense of what was going on outside. We listened to huge amounts of music. We cooked together, hung out together and bonded again, and got into the groove of writing, recording and knowing what we wanted to do sonically and lyrically. Especially with the music that we were very intent on making, kind of unapologetic rock and roll."
Style and composition
Courtney Farrell, writing for Billboard described the album as "an undeniable evolution from the Amazons' debut self-titled album, both lyrically and sonically; a result of personal growth and retrospection. The band unapologetically confronts the world around us, tackling subjects from social media and facing new challenges with age, to eating disorders and depression, all the while maintaining brazen riffs and captivating melodies."
Release and promotion
Two singles were released prior to the release of Future Dust. The first single, "Mother" came out on 5 February 2019, and the second single, "Doubt It" came out 8 April 2019. The second single coincided with the announcement of Future Dust.
