Give us a little bio about you.<\/strong>
Phuture Memoriez is a dark synth-pop-punk band from Vancouver BC. Their sound transitions constantly due to their desire to test new tools and techniques, ranging from lo-fi to professional. Tools like the Akai MPC Live, a cohort of digital\/analog synths, pedals, noisemakers, electric bass guitar, and vocals affected by other-worldly tones and textures come into play. Alongside the sonic experience of Phuture Memoriez, visual elements come out through costume, theater-style performance, album and poster artwork, programmed lights, music videos and projections, creating a conglomerate multimedia experience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You released your new EP \u2018Coulrophobia\u2019, tell us more about the single and the meaning behind the EP.<\/strong>
Coulrophobia<\/em> is a split EP with Jibbernaut and Phuture Memoriez. The EP is themed around the YouTube video \u201cLady is scared to death of clowns<\/a>\u201d. Each band took inspiration from the video and concept of Coulrophobia to produce their songs. 
The single Balloon Dog<\/em> is directly influenced by the terrified lady. The video dialogue was transcribed and lyrics were transformed from there. A lesson from Mr. Giggles: \u201cfirst thing they teach you in clown school kids\u2026balloon dog\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Describe each track in two words.<\/strong>
Clown School:<\/em> Terrifyingly educational
No One\u2019s Laughing Now:<\/em> Clown funeral
Balloon Dog:<\/em> Clowning 101
Mr. Giggles:<\/em> Balloon expert<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was the writing and recording process like?<\/strong>
The project was proposed to Phuture Memoriez and Jibbernaut through the Vancouver label Nerve Wracking Collections<\/em> where each band would write and record two songs. Jibbernaut were hard to reach in their compound, but once we finally made contact, the beats and clown giggles began to flow. 
Clown School<\/em> and No One\u2019s Laughing Now<\/em> were recorded and mixed by Gears and Hammer of Jibbernaut, in secrecy, at the Jibbernaut compound.
Phuture Memoriez wrote lyrics and sampled clips from the inspirational YouTube video for Balloon Dog<\/em> and Mr. Giggles<\/em>. From there, the composition and recordings were quick, fast, and dirty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
