Listening to the new Booka Shade album makes me think about futurism of the past. Their song Duke, is named after one of the characters in 80's epos "Escape from New York" and the whole album has an air of soundtrack about it, I'm thinking science fiction, the future today, the future yesterday, Blade Runner, Depeche Mode and metallic.No other colour(is it a colour really?) or fabric(is it a fabric really?) is more associated with the future than metallic, but I would also like to highlight it's ability to feel fresh, summery and young and clean.
Besides - what better of a clash than to take an older shape, of say a dress, and make it in metallic? We like clashes.
