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.”
