Swervedriver were often on the heavier end of the spectrum, and whilst they haven\u2019t always been the most prolific in terms of number of album releases (an extended pause following their breakup in 1998 didn\u2019t help), they did return successfully in 2015 with \u2018I Wasn\u2019t Born to Lose You\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Future Ruins\u2019 largely continues on from its predecessor, delivering a strong record with many of the elements sure to keep fans of the band happy. The album kicks off of with one of the finest tracks here, the brilliant \u2018Mary Winter\u2019.\u00a0 The strong riff and atmospheric melodies are demonstrative of a band in great form, writing music that will tune in directly to their fan base. \u2018The Lonely Crowd Fades in the Air\u2019 offers more of that energy before the title track takes the album in a slower and equally enjoyable direction.<\/p>\n<p>Things pick up with \u2018Drone Lover\u2019, which oozes pop-laden brilliance, whilst \u2018Spiked Flower\u2019 joyfully propels the album forwards before the record eventually lulls a bit with \u2018Everybody&#8217;s Going Somewhere &amp; No-One&#8217;s Going Anywhere\u2019 and \u2018Golden Remedy\u2019. Whilst the former particularly may be a bit hard to get into for the casual listener, these two tracks do add some extra layers to the album. The recovery is quick, however, and in style with \u2018Good Times Are Hard to Follow\u2019 before the lengthy otherworldliness of \u2018Radio-Silent\u2019 takes us to a dreamy end.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Future Ruins\u2019 is a strong album and fans of the band will surely be instantly drawn to its infectious hooks and harmonies. And after 4 years since their previous release, the freshness will certainly be welcomed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/swervedriverofficial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Buy Futures Ruin <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2SyGz5y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With shoegaze enjoying something of a revival in recent years, many long-standing champions of the genre have upped their activity.
