ALBUM REVIEW: TIMOTHY AND THE APOCALYPSE ‘FUTURE SO BRIGHT’
Formally known as an internationally acclaimed photographer traveling the world, capturing stories and movements, Timothy and the Apocalypse’s Future So Bright portrays the extended world behind stilled impressions. Original elements scattered in nature merge into illuminating, luscious color floating in the whims. Through its entrancing atmosphere, the reflection of familiarity flashes back from time to time.
“The Mindful Cherub” has a delicate, celestial texture in addition to its alluring, stylish nature. A blues-rock-inspired lick embellishes a hip-hop-powered drum beat, vague vocal pads floating in the wind and crystal-like texture. The water impression is carried out by harp-like arpeggios. Vaguely hearing jazz and gospel from a distant bar. Originated from biblical tradition, Cherub is a celestial winged chubby angel in child form. “The Mindful Cherub” is sophisticated with a touch of innocence and whimsy.
“Sex Tape” sets its mood in a red-light district. Intrigued by its brilliant color and windows of displays, the danger of an unknown underworld pumps up the adrenaline. Pleasure and imagination brewing in the smell of perfume spaced out in psychedelia.
Looking at the world through the curious eyes and adventurous mind, sorrow is a difficult color to paint. Timothy and the Apocalypse have a different vocabulary when it comes to downfall. “Falling Apart” approaches falling apart through a darker tone in its cinematic storytelling.
Over the past two years, world pandemics, career change, natural disasters, and family issues have fueled his frustrated creativity into two albums worth of songs. “Ethereal Event” is set to release in September.
