Brooklyn, NY's Future Of What will release their debut EP "Moonstruck" on June 26th, 2012 and the band is throwing an EP release party at Cameo Gallery in Brooklyn on June 21st.

The four-piece band - Blair (Gimma), Sam Axelrod, Max Kotelchuck, Seth Waldstein - is a new project from Blair, whose debut album, Die Young, was released by Autumn Tone Records in 2010. Blair also wrote the songs on "Moonstruck" over the course of 2011 and, home from tour, found she wanted to play in a collaborative band setting. Quickly, one came together: Waldstein had been playing drums with her since 2010; she met Axelrod, who'd played in Chicago band The Narrator, through mutual friends; and he knew Kotelchuck through his sister. The newly dubbed Future Of What further fleshed out and arranged Blair's songs, and began rehearsing in January 2012. After playing their first show in February (opening for a sold out Mirah), the band recorded and mixed "Moonstruck" with Daniel Schlett (Here We Go Magic, Friends, DIIV) at Strange Weather studio in Brooklyn, NY over four days in March.

On "Moonstruck", Future Of What takes listeners on a 14-minute trip that begins late one night in the city and ends the following night in heaven. Blair's airy, intimate vocals float over keyboard-driven melodies, from the kick drum heartbeat of the wistful opener "Back To The City", to the forlorn, evocative pop of "I Wait For You", to the moody synths and bass lines of "White Light", and the aching, dreamlike pulse of "Party In Heaven." It's an impressive introduction to the young band, indicating a definitive charm and prowess that promises only good things from Future Of What, who are currently working on their debut LP.
