3. Future Islands


3. Future Islands - Singles

I simply could not and cannot stop listening to this album. Their previous work is great, but man, what an album. Future Islands is a Baltimore, Maryland based three-piece that is comprised of Gerrit Welmers (keyboards and programming), William Cashion (bass, acoustic and electric guitars), and Samuel T. Herring (lyrics and vocals). Samuel Herring's voice has this amazing quality to it that immediately sets it apart from other albums in this genre. They recently signed to 4AD records which produced this album and I think has vaulted their career forward. If this is a sign of things to come with this band, I see them playing stadiums in the future. My schedule has not been able to line up with their touring schedule this year and that is disappointing, because if their next album is this great, it will be difficult to get into their shows.
