Futant line up ‘The Third Way’ ahead of ‘Occultist’
“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.
Chief editor of Side-Line – which basically means I spend my days wading through a relentless flood of press releases from labels, artists, DJs, and zealous correspondents. My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I’m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
