LISTEN TO COASTIN’ HERE

With Coastin’, Futura reaches deep into that confusion, the feeling that nothing is stable and that who we are as individuals is always changing – a fluid, ever-evolving process of personal growth and development.

Silas uses his music and its surrounding art as one waypoint which assists him in navigating a confusing and chaotic time to be a human. As a young Māori who is very new to understanding his whakapapa, Silas acknowledges that he has a long way to go.

For Silas, the music helps to take all that whakamā, all that stress and confusion, all of the mamae from abstract emotion, and brings it into something a little easier for him to disseminate, process, and ultimately understand.

“I feel like I am so far from figuring out who I am, or what I really value deep down. I have the ideal picture of myself, the guy I want to believe I am. But everything just feels so fluid at the moment, like nothing is permanent and I can’t really hold on to anything. And I think it’s been like that forever. Like, maybe that’s the human experience. It’s terrifying and exciting all at once.”

Coastin’ is the first instalment of exciting new music from this young creative, and hot on its heels, Silas will release the EP RĀ next Friday 8 April, to be quickly followed with the flip-side EP PŌ, the following Friday 15 April.
