The Jet Age of Tomorrow was a hip hop production duo hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, affiliated with the Odd Future collective. The group consisted of producer and vocalist Matt Martians alongside producer and rapper Pyramid Vritra. Their sound developed from instrumentals that were initially turned down by Tyler, the Creator and Hodgy, who admired the beats but opted not to use them. Martians is also part of The Internet with Syd, while Vritra heads his own hip hop group, NRK (Nobody Really Knows).

History

Matt Martians founded a production trio named The Super 3, which included two fictional personas, Betty Vasolean and Yoshi Jankins, Jr., drawing inspiration from the virtual act Gorillaz. By sharing his beats on Myspace, Martians caught the attention of Tyler, the Creator and subsequently joined Odd Future alongside Casey Veggies, Hodgy, and Left Brain. He contributed production to tracks such as "Laxin", "Bubble Gum", "Money Talk", and "Our Story" on their first mixtape, The Odd Future Tape (2008). Along with brief collaborator brandUn DeShay, they released an EP titled The Super D3Shay in 2009.

Later in 2009, Martians invited Atlanta-based producer Pyramid Vritra to become part of Odd Future. The pair adopted the name The Jet Age of Tomorrow and debuted with the EP Can I Hold Your Hand? followed by the albums Voyager and Journey to the 5th Echelon in 2010.

A music video for "Wonderland," a track from their sophomore album, premiered on February 4, 2011.

On August 7, 2012, Vritra unveiled his solo project Pyramid, featuring Martians on the song "Icecream 4 U."

Their third studio release, JellyFish Mentality, was issued on May 24, 2013, accompanied by a four-track bonus EP.

In January 2017, Martians launched his solo debut The Drum Chord Theory. Later that year, on September 15, the duo’s fourth and final album titled God's Poop or Clouds? was released under Martians' imprint "5th Echelon Jet Repair Co." In an interview, Martians expressed that future collaborations under The Jet Age of Tomorrow name are improbable, considering his solo efforts as an extension of their shared musical style.
