Futur Primitif is the new project from songwriter and singer Daniel Lefkowitz, former member of American indie-folk gentry The Low Anthem.
Now signed to UK independent Integrity Records for European releases, Futur Primitif’s first single to be taken from the album is Nuclear Shockwave (INT 037), out on 7th January 2013.
Daniel (voice/guitar) is joined in Futur Primitif by Jared Elmore on synths, drum machine and general electronic wizardry. Their forthcoming album Machineteeth was recorded live with a full band comprised of members of The Low Anthem.
Futur Primitif is currently an electric duo, incorporating elements of Velvet Underground era rock, sparse folk, and a fearless approach to the wall of sound. Having performed to rapt audiences from London to Los Angeles, 2011 brought the band to the Bowery Ballroom in NYC, the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco and the main stage of the End of the Road Festival in Dorset.
After a hiatus in early 2012 spent recording, Futur Primitif is back on the road in the USA, to be followed by a UK tour in March/April 2013 to support the European release of Machineteeth.
