Recent Future is a relatively new band with Charlie Davis of Trash Goblin and David Johnson of James and the Ultrasounds. The two have been friends since meeting in 1998 at Tennessee’s Governor’s School for the Arts. They decided to form Recent Future during the pandemic, when “the world’s uncertainty and upheaval, mixed with the personal reflection, anxiety and ultimately, hope, of new fathers,” says the band.
The melding of personalities takes visual form in Recent Future’s “Top of the Moon.” The video leans on analog CRT technology and some disturbing and surreal splitscreen images to reinforce the mood of doomy synth disco.
You can see the band live this Friday, March 7 at B-Side with Jon Hart & the Vollontines and Magic Hours. But first, get into the groove:
