Brigitte Calls Me Baby’s debut ‘The Future Is Our Way Out’ is an alluring blend of yesteryear’s charm and contemporary soul-searching. Led by vocalist Wes Leavins, the album resonates with a vibrant past and the echoes of today.

Brigitte Calls Me Baby’s debut album, The Future Is Our Way Out, hits the music scene like a poignant blast from the past, with its dazzling neon glow and heart-rending emotion. This is not just another album; it’s a thoughtfully curated journey through the sounds of the 1960s, dripping with the romance of Roy Orbison and the existential musings reminiscent of Morrissey. But there’s something more—a modern touch that speaks directly to the listener’s inner anxieties and dreams.

  • Frontman Wes Leavins’ voice is a call to retro romance infused with a contemporary edge.
  • The album ranges from self-deprecating anthems to synth-heavy mood pieces that travel beyond time.
  • With its emotional duality, the record packs an anthemic punch that appeals to varied music lovers.

As much as the album is a nod to the past, it moves with the present, and it is in this movement that the band sometimes finds itself veering into well-trodden territory. While songs like ‘Impressively Average’ light up the room with their authenticity and self-aware charm, the album can sometimes feel lost in its own ambition, with tracks melding into a blur of beautiful, yet familiar sounds.

Yet, there are moments of sheer brilliance when Brigitte Calls Me Baby strikes with full force. Take ‘We Were Never Alone’—a complex, dark, synth-driven song that could easily be the soundtrack to your most intense moments, drawing you into a world of shadowy guitars and powerful rhythms that can rival the likes of The Killers and Depeche Mode.

In essence, The Future Is Our Way Out is an album of dichotomies. It’s a musical time machine set to dance between eras, embracing the electric buzz of prom nights and the gritty spirit of punk, often within a single track. It’s a balance of timelessness and timeliness, making listeners want to dance and dive into introspection. Although the influences are clear, the album’s search for a distinct identity amidst its inspirations is an echo of our own journey through life’s soundtracks.
