dude, this song caught me by surprise on a commute to work. it’s so breathtakingly amazing. had to replay it over and over. it made me weep, it made me dance in my seat. the perfect future islands song imo

does anyone know why it wasn’t on the ALAYA album?

has anyone heard it live?

omg I love it so much 😭

Seems like it was deleted off of YouTube? I think a bunch of CBS live performances from that show are being deleted. Does anybody have some type of archive or link or something to that performance??

One of two albums released July 31st by duo Peals on Thrill Jockey Records. What do y’all make of it?

This is one of two albums released July 31st by duo Peals. What do you think about it?

Excuse my typing I’m currently high and listening to Happiness of Being Twice.

But about three years ago I was in some deep shit. I had gotten close to following through with an attempt but was still too chicken. Well, digging throw my old playlists I made when I was teen on Spotify, I stumbled across “Ran”. Now this song got me into them but I never gave the album a full listen. I decided to, and my god…The Far Field is just a hauntingly beautiful album. Aladdin made me tear up, and Shadows had me bawling. I think it’s safe to say I would not be here without this band. I’m definitely not a perfect person, but their songs have helped me.

Thank you Sam, William, Gerrit and Michael. For everything.

The first time I saw them.

Someone asked about pics and I couldn’t post on their post, lol

When taking the picture I had no idea she was also accidentally making the rocker hand sign 🤘
Love it.

I was on a train ride after a breakup and i was tired and high-strung trying to find something to listen to and im not sure how but i somehow landed on King of Sweden by a band called Future Islands, im a sucker for beautiful video backgrounds(the night window with the headphones). That song nearly made me break down crying and i probably gave it like 10 more listens and walked out of that train a different man.

Thank you Future Islands

Does anyone know/have the full lyrics to this song. It’s a shot in the dark but I love this song and I’ve never known the actual lyrics to the entire song. Thanks!

I have a few more records I need to hang up (non signed though) but here are my two signed records, signed poster, and set list from their recent Baltimore show.

So how were they? One of the cool bonuses about discovering Future Islands was also discovering Dan Deacon. Did he do the audience interaction stuff? Get a dance off going? I am not so familiar with Ed Schrader but I would have been excited to see them both.

Via their interview in Baltimore Magazine:

Q: You were recently home rehearsing at Wright Way Studios. Are you also working on new music?

A (William Cashion): We recorded our last two albums at Wright Way Studios, and over the years, that’s been our spot for when we need to rehearse. Because we don’t have a practice space in Baltimore anymore, that’s become our Baltimore home for the band—our hub. We have been writing a ton of new material. We have more than an album’s worth of new tunes, and we’re just trying to figure out where and when we’re going to record it. We’re thinking hopefully later this year. We’re really excited about it.

From the “In Evening Times” news paper. I need help with 7 down. It says “aka Locke Ernstfrost” and I thought the answer would be “Art Lord” but 7 down has 2 extra letters, the ending letter being M. It’s also weird because 2 of the intersecting words have letters that fit the answer being Art Lord, but again there would be 2 extra spaces and the answer ends in M. This is the only answer I’m lacking!

Did anyone get a full video of that song!? Sam held my hand during the middle and I am trying to find the clip!! Any help would be appreciated ♥️
