Brite Futures
Dark Past
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Sealed 2011 Original Pressed On Clear Purple Vinyl. Includes Pull Out Mini-Poster. “Brite Futures Used To Be Called Natalie Portman’s Shaved Head. Their Debut Album As Brite Futures, Dark Past Is A 30-Minute Blast Of Danceable, Singalong-Able Good-Time Modern Pop Music That Dares You Not To Smile From Beginning To End. The Songs Bounce And Groove With An Energy That Is Impossible To Ignore, The Hooks And Choruses Are Hugely Hooky And Chorusy, And Almost Every Song Sounds Like A Perfect World Radio Hit. Built Around A Limber Rhythm Section, Wiry Guitars, And Cheesy Synths, The Band’s Sound Is Light And Tough At The Same Time, A Simple But Surprising Blend Of Indie Pop, New Wave, And Dance-Pop That Sounds Like Daft Punk, Junior Senior, And Hellogoodbye All At The Same Time. Maybe Some Black Kids Too. A Little Walter Meego, Even If You Don't Remember Them. Basically Any Band That Blends Insistent Tempos, A Healthy Dose Of Goofiness, And A Bit Of Tenderness Into Its Party Mix. A Lot Of Bands That Try This Sound Fall Flat In The Vocal Department, But Not Brite Futures. Co-Lead Vocalists And Band Founders Luke Smith And Shaun Libman Trade Off Turns In The Spotlight, Each Guy Having An Ideal Snotty, Spunky, And Fun Vocal Style. Add In Claire England's Sweet Vocals And The Singing Is Impressively Powerful Throughout. Honestly, Though, Everything From Smith's Surehanded Production Down To The Packaging Is Impressive. Dark Past Features Almost No Seriousness, No Moments Of Introspection, And An Almost Frightening Amount Of Giddiness. It May Not Be For Everyone, But If You Like Your Pop Perfectly Meaning-Free And As Fun As Possible, Brite Futures Might Be Just What You Are Looking For. “ AMG - Tim Sendra.
