The origins of Agnes Martian go back to when the group would gather in their shared Oakland, CA home and partake in a weekly ritual of improvised and free form cosmic exploration. The house, appropriately dubbed Agneshaus, was a center of gathering and community, and these expansive sessions served as the musical extension of that community. Friends from a wide swath of musical backgrounds joined these exploratory jams and soon enough the pieces of what would eventually become The Future Light Cone started coming together. In March of 2020, mere hours before the Bay Area's COVID related shelter in place order took effect, Ben Rodgers (bass, guitar, synths, percussion), Pétur Eggerts (drums), and Zekarias Thompson (sax, guitar) began recording The Future Light Cone. The album slowly began to reveal its shape and direction over the course of the first pandemic year as the trio experimented with a wide variety of sounds to weave together its dense soundscapes. Once they could safely collaborate in person again, gin hart's (words, theremin) vocals gave the songs further definition. The Future Light Cone was initially released digitally by the band and then on cassette by Daturanation earlier in 2022.
