Futuropaco - Fortezza Di Vetro, Vol. 2 (2025)

Based in Oakland, California, Justin Pinkerton has perfected and expanded his Futuropaco project to a stunning degree over the past years. The one-man band is deeply rooted in Pinkerton's masterful drumming, which builds on the legacy of 1960s and '70s legends such as Tony Allen and Jaki Liebezeit. But he's an accomplished multi-instrumentalist as well, and the Futuropaco sound is a colourful fusion that sees him throw fuzz guitars, flutes, vintage synthesizers and Anatolian string instruments into the mix, seemingly without much effort. The second and final volume of the 'Fortezza Di Vetro' series feels like a conclusion, the sound of an artist reaching his creative zenith.
