About Future Islands
Future Islandsâ synth-pop anthems are built on driving rhythms and the tireless performances of singer Samuel T. Herring. Formed in North Carolina in the mid-2000s as electronic group Art Lord & The Self-Portraits, they became Future Islands and released a debut EP, Little Advances, in 2006. Their early work on scrappy first album Wave Like Home found them mixing punk energy with New Wave sensibilities; by 2010âs In Evening Air, theyâd hit upon the winning combo that has defined their music since: lush synthscapes, pulsing rhythms, and Herringâs dynamic croons and wails. Still, it wasnât until 2014âs Singles and the runaway critical success of âSeasons (Waiting On You)â that Future Islands was thrust into the spotlight, in part thanks to a spellbinding late-night TV performance. Future Islands have continued experimenting within their well-honed palette on ensuing records like 2020âs As Long As You Are and 2024âs People Who Arenât There Anymore.
