La Futura is the fifteenth studio album by the American rock band ZZ Top, and its first in nine years, following Mescalero. La Futura was recorded at The Foambox Recordings in Houston, Texas. The album title and album art were released on ZZ Top's home page on 3 August at 11:45 a.m. The album was released on 11 September 2012 and contains 10 tracks. “We thought long and hard about what this album should be,” Gibbons said in a press release. “We wanted to recall the directness of our early stuff but not turn our backs on contemporary technology. The result of this melting of the past and the present is, of course, La Futura.”
Four of the new tracks — "I Gotsta Get Paid", "Chartreuse", "Consumption" and “Over You” — were first released on 5 June 2012 as an iTunes-only collection titled Texicali, which met with strong sales and glowing reviews. Music Radar summed up the tunes as “ZZ Top crankin’ up some fresh, vital roadhouse blues”.
