Like LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy, the Juan MacLean is a pale white gent (MacLean) obsessed with re–creating the vibe of old–school New York discos. After missing the mark with his robotic, soulless 2005 debut, Juan comes to life on this follow–up, giving us stretched–out, club–wrecking grooves, many of which are played on The Future Will Come by actual humans. The best is "Happy House," 12 minutes of pianos, bells and jungly beats that's almost as awesome as LCD's anti–growing–up anthem, "All My Friends." Cucumber–cool singer Nancy Whang puts it best: "So I thank you for just being so damn excellent."
