Welcome to Future Babel—a towering collage of dynamic beats, driving guitars, supersonic synths, and a philosophical deliverance that blurs the line between alternative hip-hop and spoken word. 

F.A.Q.

How do you pronounce Future Babel? 
“Fyoo-cher Babble”

What kind of music is it? 
Future Babel is an alchemical transmutation of cyberdelic rocktronica, dreamy industrial dance-punk, anti-pop electropop, exploratory indietronica, and post-modern alt-rap sprinkled with occasional dub-inspired reggae grooves and hyperpop breakdowns. 

What do you sing/rap/speak about?
Lyrical themes include mortality, existentialism, and the illusion of time.

Do you play instruments or just push buttons?
Yes. We play guitar and drums and also push buttons.

What are the live shows like?
Prepare for a psychedelic odyssey of biblical proportions that will make you question your very own existence. Bring a friend!

Where are you from?
We are a small band of intergalactic pirates from a distant planet. We currently reside in the Twin Cities of Minnesota.

What’s new?
In Fall 2024, we will be releasing our latest album, Cyber Sunday—a psychedelic dive into some of the greatest questions of our time: Are we living in a simulation? Do we experience reincarnation? Will the future bring utopia or dystopia? 

What does your name mean?
Future Babel is the new metropolis we are constructing on the ruins of our own ancient civilization that didn’t end well. Our community is currently dispersed, but we come together in celebrations of song and dance that we call “concerts” or “shows”. We are currently in the pre-colonization phase of Earth as we work to reestablish our civilization. 

Anything else I should know?
Future Babel is banned in North Korea, all Taliban-controlled regions, and Canada.

REVIEWS

“explodes with a brash and defiant originality.”
The Joy of Violent Movement

“[Future Babel’s] unique blend of dirty guitars and mind-bending soundscapes creates an auditory experience that transcends the boundaries of the genre … redefining the alt-hip-hop scene.”
Certified Bop Magazine

“[The] group name couldn’t be more appropriate … beautiful sounds and fascinating alt rock.”
Extra! Music Magazine

“They are strange, these Future Babels. A little indie-rock, a little electronic, a little dream pop. [“Garden Party” is] a video with images generated by artificial intelligence that is sometimes unsettling. Take four minutes of your time and stare at the screen. You will probably get in touch with your subconscious.”
Distorsioni Sonore

“Future Babel is not a band, they are a post-modern interpretation of a band. These are not so much musicians as they are performance artists.”
