Throughout five muted pop tracks recalling Sakamoto \u0026amp; Hosono, Bowie \u0026amp; Eno, Hirons conjures pop fantasy and confronts reality with bright-eyed steeliness. The title Future Perfect refers to actions which shall be completed. Having absorbed the musical debut of Jenny Hirons, the attentive listener will have found themselves with a feeling of time well spent. Lyrical analysis being entirely optional — upon inspection a multiprismatic picture of life viewed from all points in time emerges — a child imagines adulthood, an adult returns to autonomy, a voice from another place looks back on a child's fantasies of the future. The effect of these songs is anything but ponderous, however. Hope, aspiration, overcoming are the takeaways, and musically the tone is a reflection of the artist herself — wry, cerebral, poised, entirely charming. Hirons cites Astor Piazolla, the Beach Boys, Elliot Smith, Deerhoof, and Rachmaninoff as musical influences. (For those who don't know, Piazolla is an accordionist.) Hirons is also a deeply accomplished visual artist and designer. The product of several years of tinkering, Future Perfect is also a breakup record, an unemployment record, an uncertain future record. Having now made it out into the world, Hirons looks back to a time when \"music was the economy of our hearts\", and forward to a future allowed to shape itself however it may be, \"carried home in all directions.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Assai Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56147883164031,"sku":"WV277LP","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1565\/5653\/files\/2a475d00-64d0-4381-a3a4-9a57932e69ca_846a24c3-583b-4925-86bc-032bc73bb9dc.jpg?v=1780423152","url":"https:\/\/assai.co.uk\/products\/hirons-future-perfect-vinyl-ep-due-out-07-11-25","provider":"Assai Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
