March 15, 2007It's up for debate whether Austin-based Robert Harrison's double-disc debut is pure genius with blind ambition, or the product of an excess of ideas. In any case, his band Future Clouds and Radar certainly knows how to entertain. The self-titled album crosses a dozen different styles and gets handed numerous genre-definers, all of which include the word "art" as a prefix. Future Clouds and Radar would seem to be inspired by The Flaming Lips or Guided By Voices, whose prolificacy Harrison emulates.

Producers of NPR's World Cafe, Y-Rock On XPN and XPoNential Music On Demand, Philadelphia's WXPN showcases heritage and emerging artists in rock, blues, folk, and beyond.
