COMING IN FALL 2023 THE NEW ALBUM BY BUILT FOR THE FUTURE. 2084: MANIFEST DESTINY PART ONE OF A TRILOGY/SERIES BASED ON ORWELL’S DARK FUTURE. BUILT FOR THE FUTURE LAST RELEASED ‘BRAVE NEW WORLD’ IN 2020, WHICH GARNERED VERY POSITIVE REVIEWS FOR BEING A MORE EXPANDED PROG EXPERIENCE. THE ALBUM WAS A SATISFYING RELEASE AND EPIC IN NATURE. FOR THE NEW ALBUM, BUILT FOR THE FUTURE HAS DECIDED TO RETURN TO THE SHORTER SONG FORMAT THAT THE DEBUT ALBUM DEMONSTRATED, AND TO FLAVOR THE PROG WITH A FULL CONCEPT AND A THREE ALBUM ARC. THE TEMPLATE FOR THE NEW ALBUM HAS KENNY AND PATRIC FOCUSING ON MORE DIRECT DELIVERY AS WELL AS A HEAVIER ALTERNATIVE SOUND. THE MELLOTRON IS THE DOMINANT KEYBOARD FOR ITS EMOTIONAL TEXTURE. PATRIC IS USING A FENDER JAZZ BASS THROUGHOUT, AND THE RICKENBACKER 12-STRING IS THE HEAVY HITTER THAT PROVIDES A RICH TEXTURE TO EACH SONG. THE FOCUS IS THE SONG. THE CONCEPT IS THE INTERESTING PARALLEL BETWEEN ORWELL’S 1984 AND WHAT WE ARE EXPERIENCING IN OUR SOCIETY TODAY. THE THEMES OF 1984 RUN THROUGHOUT THE ALBUM BUT WITH A NEW TARGET FOR DYSTOPIA: THE YEAR 2084(AS THAT IS STILL AHEAD OF US). FOR THIS ALBUM, PATRIC WROTE THE MUSIC AND KENNY PROVIDED VOCALS/MELODIES. INFLUENCES FOR THIS INCLUDE: STEVEN WILSON, FAILURE, RPWL, THE PINEAPPLE THIEF, PINK FLOYD, ULTRAVOX, TEARS FOR FEARS, AND EVEN FLAVORS OF NIN. THE THREE ALBUMS PLANNED: 2084: MANIFEST DESTINY 2084: OCEANIA 2084: THE EMPIRE STATE THE FIRST INSTALLMENT WILL BE TARGETING A NOVEMBER RELEASE DATE 2022. THE OTHERS MONTHS APART TO GIVE EVERYONE TIME TO DIGEST. 2084:MANIFEST DESTINY(TRACK LIST) MEMORY MACHINES THE THOUGHT POLICE ARGOT PROLETARIAT SUPERNATIONAL DIASPORA ZEIT HERETIC SUBTERRANEAN 101 MANIFEST DESTINY B4TF: PATRIC FARRELL-GUITARS/BASS/DRUMS/MELLOTRONS/E-PIANO/VOCALS KENNY BISSETT-VOCALS/GUITARS LALO-DRUMS THE COLLECTIVE/SINGLE IS THE FIRST RELEASE TO BEGIN THE JOURNEY. THE SONG IS SLATED FOR THE THIRD ALBUM(THE EMPIRE STATE).

ME TOO!! lol.
we have written 25 songs/pieces so far. the framework is laid out for all three. So we are confident in our plan. the content just fired me up so much in Jan, and I got obsessed with 1984 and how it parallels with what we are living in today. So I decided to do a themed album...just wrote TOO MUCH! Considered a double album and just making it like THE WALL, but one of the things I want to accomplish is a more concise listening experience for the first album, song focus, so I changed the double album to a series of 3, each under an hour. the second album plan is OCEANIA and that is mapped out to be a suite of pieces that collect in to the whole. So that is the proggy approach! Then the third album THE EMPIRE STATE will have a more rock approach a la Rush/P Tree. Again, focusing on the songs. BIG PLANS. I agree, I hope I stay the course. But the first one will be this year and we are excited about it. thanks for the note Boggy!
