"The pedigree of the members who play on the latest Future Lives LP should grab your attention; you’ve got players from King of Prussia, Drive by Truckers, Japancakes and more. They’ve quietly announced their debut album, Mansions, which comes out on June 27th via Soft Magic Records, so perhaps we should visit their music. There’s almost a folk indiepop vibe going on, interwoven with pedal steel and strings; it’s the best sort of orchestrated pop music, offering up lighthearted joy for us all. This is just the sort of gem you expect from a band hailing from Athens." -- Austin Town Hall

I met you at the Starlight Inn, We tucked into the popcorn and gin.
I eagerly awaited your look, It don’t get any better in books.
I could tell you ‘bout the way that she moves, Her projectors are the sun and the moon,
But I am a gentleman!
So we loitered at the outlet mall, We had to have a laugh at it all.
The people lining up for the man, To take them any way that they can.
Class warfare isn’t something I’d preach, But when trust among the public’s been breached,
What the hell do you expect, man?!?!
Yeah, you take your time, the time you’re given,
Trying to make things right,
And you turn it on, your California vibe.
So we tore into the Highway 1, I’ve never dreamed of having fu-fun,
Fu-fu-functional family, Well I never knew the meaning ‘til now.
There’s the gun that often jolts me awake, There were crucial financial mistakes,
But I’m not too fucked up!
Then we drove into the desert at night, I’ve never really been one to fight,
Fight for much besides love, It must be our true connection to God.
My portfolio’s this ‘lucky’ tattoo, So all my lovin’s gonna just have to do,
Cause you’re comin’ with me!
Yeah, you take your time, the time you’re given,
Trying to make things right,
And you turn it up, your California vibe.
Your face inside your hand, I’ve seen you at your cryin’ist.
You stepped on all my plans, And I thank God that you did,
All alone at the edge of a cliff, With my one true love by my side,
And our California vibe.
Yeah, you don’t take time, it’s time you’re given,
So try to make things right,
And don’t interrupt our California vibe.
Yeah, you don’t take time, it’s time you’re given,
And it’s so short of a ride,
Just try to find your California vibe.
