FUTURE SELF (INCL. MP3)

The Globes are Sean McCotter, Kyle Musselwhite, Marcus Ourada and Erik Walters. They formed in their teenage years (recently - the youngest member is 21), spending afternoons in their sleepy city of Spokane, Washington collaboratively dissecting and interpreting the fundamentals of songwriting while forging together their own musical inspirations. Now only a few years later they are proving themselves as an earnest musical force. 2010 saw the band log in about 30,000 touring miles playing along such bands as labelmates Ra Ra Riot and Menomena as well as A Place to Bury Strangers and Minus The Bear. The Seattle press has already warmed to the band, with The Stranger lauding their carefully crafted guitar rock that's beautiful, but with a bang, and The Seattle Weekly finding hints of darkness and discord... moody yet warm, deep and lovable. It's the ideal kind of music to get attached to, not demanding attention but definitely meriting it. Future Self was written by The Globes and produced by John Goodmanson (Blonde Redhead, Death Cab for Cutie, Sleater-Kinney, etc). The band expects to be touring constantly, or at least until they hit their mid-20s when it's conceivable that they might need to take a rest for a while.
