Took a long way to get here 4000 miles I roamed Sold my bass, my car, and my records Just to make this box my home And what I left wasn't bad But sure I had my reasons, And if you can house train a dog Why the hell can't I be European? I am home In San Düsseldorf I am home In San Düsseldorf Every time that they ask me Why I would leave such a place Why the trade the sun, the beach, the lifestyle For the cold and the rain Well man, weather aint everything And sure the winters not fun But I say I prefer not to wonder If that guy over there has got a gun I am home In San Düsseldorf I am home In San Düsseldorf

released February 28, 2024

"This new record trades the acid-manic jamming and frigid instrumentalism of their first EP for a turn towards concentrated, progressive songwriting that glows with the warmth of the American west. It took moving to Germany from San Diego, California to make singer/guitarist Mikey Sykes fully appreciate American music, and therein have the band opened up a new well of inspiration. The 3-chord progressions, driving rhythms, and potent lyricism of Country and Folk laid the foundation for Rock bands ranging from The Velvet Underground to the Grateful Dead, and on “San Düsseldorf”, Zukunft pick up this thread running through the history of rock music, and juxtapose it against the cosmic sprawl of their Krautrock-obsessed beginnings."

Zukunft Berlin, Germany

Emerging from the ever-fertile musical fields of Berlin with a name that cracks a sarcastic smirk befitting their musical ideology, Zukunft (german for future) draws from the long-form, experimental
approach of Krautrock, juxtaposing it against the warm, sun-drenched tones of west coast psychedelia. ... more
