“The Third Way” is the first of five videos Futant plan to release on the last day of each month up to Halloween, when “Occultist” arrives. The duo describe the album as a darker turn shaped by themes of Magick and secret societies. As with the rest of their catalogue, the record will be offered as a free download through the band’s site, alongside the paid limited vinyl pressing.
About Futant
Futant is an electronic duo from Washington, D.C., made up of Luxe and F. Tyler. The pair have worked together since 2005 and have released music publicly since 2008, building a large catalogue that runs through cyberpunk and synth themes on records such as “Cyberpunk”, “TransHuman”, “Holografik” and “Deep Space”. The project offers its releases as free downloads through its own site.
“Occultist” will be Futant’s 29th studio release. The Halloween album steers the duo toward darker, occult-themed material, with “The Third Way” and its video opening a monthly run of previews through the autumn.
