Hirons – ‘Future Perfect’ EP review: A stunningly evocative synthpop gem

Posted On November 13, 2025November 13, 2025

Unleashing her debut Future Perfect EP to the world via Western Vinyl, Hirons scores an immaculate collage of leftfield pop and synth immersions with an exquisite capture of the senses and inner-reverie.

The Skinny: A distinguished artist and illustrator, British-American Jenny Hirons seems equally gifted with popcraft as she is with graphic design, each of Future Perfect’s five cuts all glowing like a studied and honed branch of her multidisciplinary creative scope.

Like the splashy brush strokes of an impressionist painter or the considered placements of the De Stijl bunch’s blocks and colours, Hirons similarly cultivates a mapped-out leftfield synthpop that brims with artistic authority.

Such mastery never gets in the way of emotional affect or sheer, somatic thrill. There’s an intelligent foundation to Future Embrace that eschews calculated or rigid constructions, semi-minimalist arrangements that fizz and alchemise together with electronic radiation at its warmest.

Almost surreal and at times playfully psychedelic, Hirons unveils a sonic realm heady that’s hopelessly inviting, imbuing her lyrical tales of childhood and its thematic flashpoints with the passage of time a spark of evocative pertinence.

At its dizzying heights, Future Embrace’s enchanting fizz can leave you stunned. EP opener ‘Vertigo’s trance-like second-half is gripping beyond words, a wriggling, teeming spawn of metallic rhythms and cavernous pangs swirling around an infectious basslick with impeccable energy.

Something of a subtle anthem is reached for on ‘Being the Cause’s glittering harmonies, and ‘The Rabbit Hole’s welcome saxophone courtesy of producer Michael Chadwick’s brass skills imbue a marvellous lick of wry fantasy to the affair. Such flourish and creative detours all mingle and gel with Hirons’ essential centre of twirling sequencers and synth washes that penetrate the absolute core of the spot in our brains responsible for daydreaming wist.

The Verdict: Firing all cylinders from the get-go, Hirons has delivered an astonishing debut of electronic music that tickles and stimulates all the senses in beautiful, chromatic perfection.

Dwelling in the cerebral while jolting through the somatic, Future Perfect stridently steps into the vast synthpop world and marks a niche, inimitable presence of itself with effortless aplomb.
