Future Perfect is the debut studio album by American alternative rock band Autolux, released November 21, 2004 on T-Bone Burnett's label, DMZ, via Columbia. Future Perfect was recorded at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles and was produced by Burnett. The album has been described as indie rock, shoegaze[1] and noise pop.

DMZ also released Future Perfect on vinyl as a two-LP set, which later went out of print. After the label's demise, Autolux reissued the album themselves (listed as Autolux Music Entertainment) in 2009 on one 180-gram LP via their website[2] (with no edits or changes to the track listing despite the long running time), and again in 2015 (as The Autolux Empire).[3]

Pitchfork critic Peter Macia said of the album's opening track, "Turnstile Blues": "In the first 10 seconds of the album opener, Carla Azar shames most every beat-maker with her ridiculous Leibezeit-cum-Bonham percussion".[6]

In 2016, Pitchfork ranked Future Perfect at No. 44 on its list of "The 50 Best Shoegaze Albums of All Time".[7]
