We’ve waited a while to get our deep thinking dancing shoes on, and now Future Islands have given us a due date – confirming new album ‘The Far Field’ with lead track ‘Ran’.
Rich and full of infectious grooves from the get-go, ‘Ran’ is an indicator that the Baltimore trio are taking things up a notch with their next chapter, building on the worldwide success that was ‘Singles’. From the moment Samuel T Herring’s unparalleled voice glides into view, it’s clear that Future Islands are about to have a massive couple of years.
That LP ‘The Far Field’ will head into the world on April 7th, with the 12 track collection featuring a guest appearance from none other than Debbie Harry of Blondie fame. Future Islands will mark the release with a string of UK headline shows – heading across the country from the end of April through to early May, before headlining Green Man in August.
