RecommendTransfer, a San Diego based four-piece, has been floating under the radar for most of the 2000s. Future Selves, recorded in the bands own studio back in 2009, combines elements of Americana, psychedelia and gospel ( "Wake to Sleep" ) to create their blend of pulsing, hook laden soundscapes. Transfer is currently making a name for themselves over seas thanks to relentless touring and lead single "Losing Composure", which juxtaposes a pounding frenetic drumbeat and singer Mat Molarius captivating vocals. From there Transfer doesnt let you go, as they take you layers deep but reinforce their sound with an underlying feeling that things will look up. At its heart, Future Selves might be a dark album, but songs like "My Suspicions" and " Take Your Medicine" offers enough hooks to keep you coming back for future, rewarding listens.
