Pre-Order: Futuro Pelo - Sketches of Loss [LP], Futuro Pelo, Vinyl

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.
