Recent Future

Memphis-based Charlie Davis (Trash Goblin, Detachment Kit) and David Johnson (James and the Ultrasounds, Tall David) met in Governor's School for the Arts in 1998. Their decades' long friendship, fueled by late-night jams and hangouts, resulted in the creation of Recent Future. As the concept took root during the pandemic, their ideas reflected the world's uncertainty and upheaval, mixed with the personal reflection, anxiety and ultimately, hope, of new fathers. Their respective artistic mindsets meld into bleeding-edge synth punk that’s simultaneously danceable yet doom-laden.
Vinyl release later this year(2025) via Red Curtain Records.
