Future Islands

The Baltimore trio's 4th album is their boldest & most immediate work to date & it sees enigmatic frontman Sam Herring's poetic tales of heartbreak, love & loss up front & in high fidelity.

this is thanks in part to a newfound creative partnership with producer Chris Coady (Beach House, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Grizzly Bear). completely unconstrained by conventional indie-rock structure, to these ears, this is the sound of a party destined not to fade out until sunrise, where where of montreal, antony & the johnsons & wild beasts collaborate to soundtrack the highs & lows of the night. "a stirring synth-pop writ in bold emotional colours" 8/10 - uncut, "nothing short of remarkable...treads the ground between weird & wonderful" 8/10 - drowned in sound.
