ABOUT

The years since the release of Singles have been transformative for Future Islands, catapulting the Baltimore-based band from cult favorites to synth pop icons.

As addictive songs like breakout ‘Seasons (Waiting on You)’ turned the world on to sublime pleasures a loyal fan base already knew, this hard-touring band sloughed forward, playing their 1000th show in July 2015 and celebrating their 10th anniversary in February 2016. Now Future Islands returns at the top of their game with new album The Far Field, delivering twelve chest-pounding love songs and odes to thread as only they can.

“A lot of the energy of the show comes from the audience. If the audience is putting off energy, we’re able to bounce it back. It’s like a feedback loop. If the audience is there with us and they’re giving us their energy, then it’ll be easy for us to find it.”
