False Futures emerge into the light with third single ‘Under The Same Sun’
Just days before embarking on their debut UK headline tour, London’s False Futures release their third single ‘Under The Same Sun’, a shimmering ode to rebellion, belonging, and the quiet defiance of staying true to yourself.
Rooted in Mathew Conner’s early memories of moving to London and soundtracked by his Beach Boys obsession, the track evolves from a long-forgotten demo into a sun-drenched indie anthem. Self-recorded in a tiny 9ft x 9ft room in North London, its sonic warmth belies its bedroom-pop beginnings, blending Television’s wiry tightness with Pavement’s lo-fi heart.
Lyrically, Conner blends Northern charm with universal themes, from kids hustling sweets in school to the broader tension between institutional control and self-expression.
Shot in Dungeness, the nostalgic video captures the same balance of grit and grace. A bold step forward from a band who’ve been quietly waiting to be heard.
