Duran Duran Future Past LP (White Vinyl)

Enrolling the help of some of the most exciting names of the last 50 years, with Future Past Duran Duran has delivered yet another incredible genre-spanning piece of work that once again sets them apart from the pack. Working alongside British DJ / producer Erol Alkan and pioneering Italian composer / producer Giorgio Moroder, the band has enlisted the help of some of the most unexpected and inspiring names in pop - including multi-platinum Swedish hit-maker Tove Lo, "Queen Of Drill" Ivorian Doll, and Japan's CHAI on "More Joy!". In addition, Blur's Graham Coxon co-wrote and lends his guitar to several tracks on the record, and David Bowie's former pianist Mike Garson adds an exquisite sonic layer to album closer "Falling". The record, which was recorded across studios in London and LA over COVID lockdown, also features long-time collaborator Mark Ronson who co-wrote and played on "Wing", and was mixed by Mark "Spike" Stent.

Together, Duran Duran, Coxon, and Alkan craft a dense, shape-shifting tapestry that gets punctured by the guitarist's melodic squalls and the group's thick hooks....Much of Future Past feels like modern disco, music that blurs the distance separating the club and home and that plays with genre as fluidly as it plays with technology.... [T]he restlessness makes for a kinetic, exciting album.
