Welcome to the future Take one big breath of pollution Where your kids’ kids’ kids Gonna’ reap what you sow Welcome to the future Take one last look at the setting sun And say goodbye to everything you know Hello my name is Kevin Her name is Karen Welcome to our party You’ve been invited out here To the suburbs in your Hummer To our little soiree We’re drinking Koolaid Playing somе basketball Watching DVDs Maybe pop a tylenol And thе world’s on fire But we’re gonna flip burgers ’til the flames get higher Welcome to the future Take one big breath of pollution Where your kids’ kids’ kids Gonna’ reap what you sow Welcome to the future Take one last look at the setting sun And say goodbye to everything you know Hello my name is Maggie I’m an orca I’ve been sober for a year now It’s been a crazy couple weeks I got tangled in a fishing net And harpooned by a creature with a beer gut And that’s when I hit that Aramco Chase it with some Exxon And sip on that Conoco I’m a killer o.g But it’s getting too hot in the sea for me Welcome to the future Take one big breath of pollution Where your kids’ kids’ kids Gonna’ reap what you sow Welcome to the future Take one last look at the setting sun And say goodbye to everything you know Baby is it crazy that I’m paralyzed by apoplectic paranoia While the apocalypstick stains on my white collar Reveal the value of a dollar or two What if the messiahs and liars and Mayans were right? The world’s on fire The world’s on fire Let the birds and the bees and the animated bunny rabbits sing Welcome to the future Take one big breath of pollution Where your kids’ kids’ kids Gonna’ reap what you sow Welcome to the future Take one last look at the setting sun And say goodbye to everything you know Welcome to the future motherfuckers Bring it on

Check 2 Ramen Noodles 2020 Depression Guess Who’s Back? Baby FuzZ I don’t know what I came here for I’m a little lost and a little bored Guess I’m tired of all my solitary trends I wanna dance to a song I hate Walk away and commiserate with All of my imaginary friends Tonight I’ll go down like a vagrant On some slab of beer-stained pavement In a pool of my own jaded rock n roll I’ll dream that I made history Went on Letterman and made a hit cd But when I wake up I’ll be way too fucking old And all the frat boys are lining up their drinks, they’re shouting Oahwohowhohwohowowhowhoooo And the sad girls are waiting in the wings, they’re crying Oahwohowhohwohowowhowhoooo Baby’s got the Weekend Blues Now I’m watching lovers rise and fall Life and times of a disco ball That’s hanging on for dear life I’ll trade my work for another drink Save my hurt for my mother’s shrink And tell her just how much I hate these nights I’ll do burnouts with the burnouts Take some shots down with the dropouts If we don’t kill ourselves, we’ll kill a little time Cuz there’s no cause without a rebel And there’s no god without a devil And there’s no weekend without a fucked up 9 to 5 And all the frat boys are lining up their drinks, they’re shouting Oahwohowhohwohowowhowhoooo And the sad girls are waiting in the wings, they’re crying Oahwohowhohwohowowhowhoooo Baby’s got the Weekend Blues Your life is failure Your friends are all ghosts No one to regale you The world is joke Well out of 8 billion strangers Honey, you ain’t the only out there alone tonight

So I heard you made New Music Friday Well congratz from a truck stop somewhere out on the highway I’m out here this summer chasing down dreams Watching the rearview and eating baked beans You could say that I’m doing things my way Though it seems like for years now my life has gone sideways But I’ll keep this tour van between both the lines Break my guitar strings and scream in the mic And offset the carbon that I oxidize ‘Cuz I’m trying my freakin best My phone says I’m in mid life crisis That Reddit thread’s dead, left to my own devices So I’m out making music and making new friends In all likelihood never see them again ‘Cuz I’m lonely and lost and fucked up in the head But I’m trying So I’ll stand on a stage in Mobile, Alabama My heart beating out of my chest ‘Cuz baby I’m trying Yes I’m trying My freakin best I’m trying to be a little less tragic For the first time in my life I’m trying to find magic I’m trying to be reckless I’m trying to be brave I’m trying to be someone who tries to behave I’m trying to unlock all the bolts on my cage I’m trying So I’ll stand on a stage in Mobile, Alabama My heart beating out of my chest ‘Cuz baby I’m trying Yes I’m trying My freakin best

Hello How the heck are ya Could I get a dollar Just tryna get by Eyeroll Sit there ’til the color changes I’m on my way to a job I hate And I don’t have time There’s a place I go Where all the cars line up to get on the interstate And for a piece of gold Maybe you’ll find your peace of mind before you drive away Tell me What is it like to be Living that good life? To be living it up like the king of the world Well I’d really like to be Getting out of this hood life To be living it up Diamonds and pearls What is it like to be Living that good life? To be living it up like the king of the world Well I’d really like to be Getting out of this hood life To be living it up Diamonds and pearls My home Is a little bit smaller I dream in a tent down by the side of the road And my life Is a little bit harder I live in an article inside of your phone Well there’s a place I know Where the guitars smash, and the babe’s are bitchin’ Is it avaricious That when I’m feeling low I look at the stars, those that got fed and famous? ‘Cuz that’s what the sidewalk says Ooh How ‘bout that good life! Ooh How ‘bout that good life! What is it like to be Living that good life? I’d really like to be Getting out of this hood life What is it like to be Living that good life? To be living it up like the king of the world Well I’d really like to be Getting out of this hood life To be living it up Diamonds and pearls Ooh Now this is the part where all the brokeass motherfuckers sing along What is it like to be Living that good life? To be living it up like the king of the world Well I’d really like to be Getting out of this hood life To be living it up Diamonds and pearls Won’t you tell me What is it like to be Living that good life? To be living it up like the king of the world Well I’d really like to be Getting out of this hood life To be living it up Diamonds and pearls

about

Baby FuzZ’s timeline might work a little differently than yours. Welcome to the Future (Season 1) episodically wedges itself between worlds, creating an experience that may weave between expressions, but never an ethos. As the songwriting playground for producer Brandon Lowry, this project borrows heavily from glam rock’s persona-building playbook, indie rock’s winking attitude, and an environmentally conscious vegan mindset that spelled doomsday in the months leading up to and during this ongoing pandemic.

“Because of the stupid persona, I can approach dark subjects like death or global annihilation or depression in comedic form or without coming off as didactic. It's the idea and ethos of hyperpop, but sonically a bit more in the classic glam rock or indie rock department (or whatever genre I happen to be dabbling in at the time),” Lowry explains. 
 
On this full-length, Baby FuzZ transforms a list of deadly diseases twice, first into a folk punk stomp, and then into its own dance routine and punk rock surprise ending on “We’re All Gonna Die!!!”. Lowry’s persona namedrops an iPhone-wielding Patti Smith on glammy highlight “Before Our Time,” shoves Brian May guitar heroics through “I’m Trying My Freakin Best,” a song transported from the inside of a sad can of Bush’s Baked Beans, and has time to shroud McDonalds and Elon Musk in romantic fog on closer “Acid Night.” All of these shoehornings should be taken with a large grain of salt, especially when considering Baby FuzZ’s Mother Earth-first mentality. “The present is all that matters, but it's always second fiddle,” Lowry continues. “I guess what I was trying to do with this album was shake people and say ‘wake up!’ or maybe better yet, shake myself out of some helpless malaise and try to make a difference in the world around me.” Baby FuzZ is welcoming you to the future...before it’s too late.
 
Before Our Time - Baby FuzZ ranks love and life only in extremes - there’s no between for this Floridian sonic boom. “Before Our Time,” the glam-shocked single from Welcome to the Future (Season 1), shines with a confident hook that jets away from the verses’ malaise and indifference with rocket fuel. The result is a track that’s vibrant, catchy, and powerful, despite the track’s flintrock line: “if you don’t give a fuck, then you won’t get old.” With that attitude, Baby FuzZ intends to spring eternal.
 
Acid Night - Driven by smoky ambience and a burrowed sax motif, “Acid Night” is the perfect endcap to Baby FuzZ’s Welcome to the Future (Season 1). Unlike most of Baby FuzZ’s fare before it, it remains locked in a dreamy, downtempo phase for its entire runtime. The result is an anti-capitalist stance that ambles between loving and lucid. With this putting a stop to Baby FuzZ’s first album-length season, there’s no end to the magic that Season 2 could bring.
