Futuro Pelo – Sketches of Loss (Clear LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Benjamin Sportès has been operating at the fringes of French alternative music long enough to know exactly when to strip everything away. Rooted in the post-punk and no-wave currents that ran through Paris and Brussels in the 1980s, his work with Sporto Kantes built a reputation on intensity and refusal to compromise, and *Sketches of Loss* arrives as the logical, if brutal, endpoint of that trajectory.
Futuro Pelo: The Visceral Return of Benjamin SportèsForget the labels. Futuro Pelo is the radical, unfiltered project of Benjamin Sportès. A veteran of the alternative scene since 1983 and a founding member of the legendary Sporto Kantes, Sportès has traded the stages of Paris for a brutalist studio in Brussels to write his most raw chapter yet.His upcoming album, Sketches of Loss (Spring 2026, EXAG' Records), is a Molotov cocktail of rock'n'roll, garage, and electro-punk. Born from a "visceral need" to perform following a year of profound personal loss, the record is a minimalist, 14-track exutoire. It strips music down to it's primal bones: one voice, one guitar, and a steady drum loop.Drawing on the urgency of The Gun Club and the theatricality of John Maus, Futuro Pelo's new era is a testament to fierce resilience-a "temporal face-off" between his 24-year-old self and the man he is today.
