The Futureheads

A bold, entirely acapella reimagining of the band's catalog and classic covers. Stripped of guitars, these four voices create a rhythmic, percussive, and soulful wall of sound.

What if a post-punk band ditched their guitars and became a world-class barbershop quartet?

A spirited and technically impressive celebration of the human voice's versatility.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The rhythmic, percussive breathing that drives the momentum of Robot without a single drum hit.
The lush, soaring wall of voices that transforms Sparks' synth-pop classic The No.1 Song in Heaven into a choral anthem.
The sudden, hushed intimacy of the harmonies during the bridge of Beeswing.
