EXCLUSIVE DOWNLOAD: The Futureheads - The Beginning of the Twist (Atephoald Vs. The Futureheads)
We were obsessed with The Futureheads’ debut self-titled album when it first came out way back in 2004—the brilliant blend of the Jam bashing out Devo songs was too much for our minds to handle. We saw them live at every possible opportunity, and we’re pretty sure we wore out the CD within the first few months of owning it (let’s not even talk about their “Hounds of Love” cover… so good). Then came, to many people’s confusion, News and Tributes: a record not without its merits, but critically panned for not having the same immediate joy buzz as the debut. It seemed like all might be done for the Futureheads at that point—dropped from their label 679, they retreated to their ranks and rebuilt their empire anew. They created their own label (Nul Records) and are now releasing their third record, the highly anticipated This Is Not The World, with its incendiary lead single “The Beginning of the Twist”, a totally brutal return to form. The angular guitars, the powerful backing vocals, the raw, fun energy of the ‘Heads of yore... it’s all here. Yeah, they’re back.
Today we have two awesome Futureheads exclusives: a live version of “The Beginning of the Twist” and a remix by UK electro producer Atephoald.
