The Future and the Past, Natalie Prass's second album, came out on ATO Records in June 2018, three years after a debut Pitchfork had named one of its Best New Albums. She finished writing it with help from Matthew E. White, her bandmate all the way back in eighth grade, and recorded it at Spacebomb Studios, and this time the songs want to move.
"Short Court Style" set the tone: a deep, rubbery bass groove, glittery disco synths, sampled whoops punching through the breaks and a pile of harmonies around a chorus about love that beats everything. Prass took it to Conan that March. "Sisters" followed later the same month, and "Lost" drew a firmer line, a song about telling a partner that enough is enough. It's a record that dances without losing its spine.
