O FUTURE seems to select very intriguing names for the title of their top notch tunage. The electronic duo from Los Angeles, formerly known as OOFJ, last gave us a song named Smell You. The track wracked up a volley of acclaim with its glamour and succulence. They’ve since returned with Telephone, also a rather mysterious title, considering the fact that telephones (not cell phones), for many, are obsolete. When these land line connecters show up in popular television shows or films, they carry a near mystical quality, like strange visitors from the past, and a tenuous connection to specters long gone. O FUTURE offers up the perfectly intoxicating mix of electronic, symphonic, and chill electronica on their fascinating song. With FKA twigs like vocal bewitchment and retro-styled neon synths, they capture our imagination and our fancy. The line “I’ve got a telephone” adds an almost Lynchian quality to that aforementioned vibe. Alongside its longing saxophones, Telephone ignites a yearning within us to connect, whether to our past, or to those around us, or maybe to both. Time fades away, like it does, late at night, when yesterday and tomorrow are indiscernible. Telephone is at once disconcerting and inebriating. It satiates, yet arouses a famished desire within. 

Almost finished, only one more list coming, I promise. In the meantime have a little taste of my favorite pop music in 2019 here.
