Dundalk based indie lo-fi 4-piece The Future West are back with Back To The Future III, a new album of unreleased material and live dates for 2026
Album: Back To The Future III
Band: The Future West
Released: April 10 2026
Back To The Future III is the third album from Dundalk based Indie/Alternative/Lo-Fi 4-piece The Future West. Produced and recorded by frontman and tunesmith, Francis Watters, Back To The Future III is a collection of songs that, for some reason or other, never made it onto an official release.
After 2022's brilliant second album Who Will Forgive All My Sins, as Francis says "The Future West had a wee rest. They are now back in the saddle and gearing up for a busy 2026."
Talking about the new album he continues “The project started off as a completely different idea in the Summer of 2023. It was supposed to be four EPs of four songs each. The original idea was to just get all of this old music off of my hard drive and available publicly with the original title of This Can’t Be For Nothing.
"After recording it all the idea simply didn’t feel right so I split it into two albums, a dark and a light version. It was pretty clear to me after doing that that I was subconsciously filtering out the songs that I genuinely didn’t believe were good enough to be released. The dark version is what has become Back To The Future III. Most of these songs were written in 2017. Some in 2021. And the oldest two in 2014. I’m really happy with it and even happier that these songs won’t be lost to the digital ether of a hard drive and that they’re getting the release I feel they deserve.”
