About Futurski:
Slovenian four member band creates futuristic sound with a hint of dream-pop, which in intervals transfers to dark chillwave. Cosmic sound is created with synthesizers, which are played by all bend members, two girls and two boys. On the moments estranged sound image from far away future is mixed with melodious lines of retro effects.
