For all the noise made about the technology paranoia of The Future’s Void, at its heart it’s an album about searching for a connection. Whether through a screen or IRL, Erika M. Anderson is struggling to come to terms with her inner demons so that she can allow herself to open up to someone else. The Future’s Void is a dark, oppressive, and at times ugly spiral into depression, marked with self-loathing and pitying; any criticism that Anderson makes about modern society is reflected onto herself tenfold. If Past Life Martyred Saints was about getting out of middle America and finding out that things aren’t much better on the coasts, then Void burrows deep into the crushing realization that you’ll never be able to escape the one thing that will always hold you back: yourself. –James [LISTEN]
