How To Stop Your Brain In an Accident
How to Stop Your Brain in an Accident, Future of the Left's fourth studio album, is built on political, pugilistic rage. It's their toughest, meatiest record to date.
A great album that shows a willingness to adapt rather than simply retreading the formula.
“The music industry is lying to you” preaches Andy Falkous on serrated satire Singing of the Bonesaws, chiding listeners for “[confusing] excitement with the fear of missing out” before venturing down some dark recesses involving Kim Kardashian, a masked bear and self-inflicted ocular mutilation. It’s one of several tracks on Future of the Left’s fourth album to provoke nervy laughs, with Falkous once again proving a peerless lyricist: incisive, articulate and pulling no punches as he eviscerates targets from Christmas to record labels.
