Your Future Our Clutter is an album by the Fall, released in the UK on 26 April 2010. It is the group's twenty-seventh studio album, and their first for independent record label Domino. The album was recorded at Chairworks Studios, Castleford and 6db Studio, Salford. [11] Publicity for the record describes it as the group's "most rampant, most forward moving, bone shaking best." [12] The album had previously been referred to as Our Future Your Clutter.
As with the group's preceding album, 2008's Imperial Wax Solvent , the line-up consists of Mark E. Smith (vocals), the group's chief songwriter and only constant member, as well as his wife Eleni Poulou (keyboards and vocals), Dave "The Eagle" Spurr (bass), Peter "PP" Greenway (guitar) and Keiron Melling (drums). The album was produced by Ross Orton, Mark E. Smith, and Simon "Ding" Archer, who produced three songs.
Your Future Our Clutter entered the UK Album charts at number No. 38. "Bury Pts. 1 + 3" peaked at No. 94 in France. The album has received favourable reviews, with New Yorker music critic Sasha Frere-Jones calling it one of the best albums of the year. [13]
