  Record Review - Starscream's Future, and It Doesn't Work
Forget everything you know about chiptune music. There, that was easy, right? Starscream's new EP Future, and It Doesn't Work does not sound like a love song set in the land of Pokémon, nor does it sound like a violent rave happening inside of your Game Boy, the two realms that most chiptune fall into. 4bit synths compose a melancholy and majestic melody while acoustic drums fill the air with intensity and urgency lacking from similar songs that aren't sped up to imply that time is running out. The truth, though, is that time does run out all too soon. The boys of Starscream are not afraid to linger on the good moments, but at a scant twenty minutes, this EP will surely leave players itching for the next level.
