Future Islands

Future Islands' trademark sound is sleek, guitar-less synth pop balanced with the howls, yelps, and croons of dynamic vocalist Samuel T. Herring. The Baltimore-based group honed their sound on a series of promising albums before their near-perfect 2014 LP Singles and a stunning appearance on Late Night with David Letterman vaulted them to prominence. Herring's daring as a vocalist and the band's sweeping melodies were further honed to a point on the slick 2017 album The Far Field and 2020's melancholy As Long as You Are. Their seventh full-length, People Who Aren't There Anymore, a mixture of energetic numbers and slow jams, arrived in 2024.
