Hailing from Brisbane, four-piece alt-rock outfit Future Haunts are today thrilled to share their brand new single ‘Make Time’. In support of the track, the band will be playing shows in Sydney and Brisbane in May.
Recorded by frontman Ben Speight at Plutonium Studios and his home studio, mixed by Tim Fitz (Middle Kids) and mastered by Ethan Greaves (Jouk Mistrow), the track shows a different side to Future Haunts. In the words of Speight, “’Make Time’ is a song about distance. It’s an observational take on the disconnect that can occur between people when they become preoccupied with various aspects of life.
It’s a gaze into the human condition in managing distractions in a modern world, while we’re constantly trying to place our time among the temporary.”
