‘The Future Machine’ is the latest single from Evil Scarecrow, out now ahead of their forthcoming album, Silicon Tea, that’s due in October 2025, with the band launching a Kickstarter campaign for the physical release shortly.
‘The Future Machine’ has been described as a love letter to the 80s, taking us back to simpler times, dripping with dystopian nostalgia and sprinkled with Evil Scarecrow’s staple humour and style.
When asked to explain the song, band member Dr. Hell said: “In today’s crazy world, it’s important to consider an age-old debate: With the impending threat of WW3, Trump being a big old shite and I dunno, global warming, it’s time we tackle the toughest question of them all, which was the best decade?“Well, clearly it was the 80s. We also had the impending threat of WW3, Trump was undoubtedly doing shite things and global warming was here to stay. We had hair spray that literally destroyed the ozone layer. Cool times. So cool we thought we should jump on the Stranger Things band wagon and krank out some 80s nostalgia. For a change, we threw some robots in.
So, if you love 80s rock and metal, lame movie references, and robots (again) then this song will make you horny like an 80s teenager watching Weird Science. But hopefully less inappropriate.
Evil Scarecrow will be touring the UK this October, with Andrew O’Neill as support. Tickets are available here.
