Future Politics was created with a production team of only women, something I feel like is important to talk about if only to highlight the huge gender disparities that exist behind-the-scenes of music making.
It seems to me that we as humans always need a prominent archetype to exist in order to compare and understand something else. The archetype of the female mixing engineer and the female mastering engineer does not yet seem to exist, while fortunately, that of the female producer is finally beginning to take shape.
Let the women who worked on this record, Alice Wilder and Heba Kadry, begin to shape and contribute to those archetypes and help all of our feeble minds comprehend the undeniable genius of the many women working behind a mixing board.
