Girl As Wave threads together musical ideas of the past with production methods of the present in crafting the synth pop aesthetic of “Future Version.” Reminiscent of early, electroclash period Ladytron and early Boy Harsher, the song expresses a yearning for something better, “always searching for the future version” of her self, of her life but it always seems “out of reach” yet there is a sense in the song that she isn’t completely sure what this vision of a more fulfilling tomorrow and person to become might be whether “someone on TV” or “someone in my head” and you hear the weary frustration of that in the song but also a will to keep going and in the song’s saturated tones and upbeat melody there is more than a glimmer of hope for something for which to strive rather than no hope at all.
