Musically the album builds upon the foundation of its predecessor, with a modernapproach to production. Future Hopes also features a heavy use of synthesizers, including the unique textures of thefamed Blade Runner synth, the Yamaha CS80.The Future Hopes lineup, which as always is a loose constellation of musicians with multi-instrumentalists JacobHolm-Lupo and Mattias Olsson at the core, sees the return of several WHITE WILLOW stalwarts, including flautistKetil Einarsen (Jaga Jazzist, Motorpsycho), keyboardist Lars Fredrik Frislie (Wobbler, Tusmrke), and bassist EllenAndrea Wang (Pixel, Manu Katch Quartet). The singer is however a new arrival. Venn hernative Norway froject, The Opium Cartel. Guesting on several tracks and putting a clear stamp onthe album is Norway's trailblazing guitar hero Hedvig Mollestad, known from her own Hedvig Mollestad Trio. Holm-Lupo felt the material needed a soloist who could both navigate the tricky, almost jazz-influenced chord and timechanges on the album while at the same time retaining a rock edge, and Hedvig fit the bill perfectly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":30733399588961,"sku":"0763232107823","price":13.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/products\/stand_1913402_jpg.jpg?v=1705458579","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0763232107823-future-hopes","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
