limited indies only crystal clear lp where they’ve pursued ever-higher energy anthems in the past, they’ve turned inward this time, and unlocked a new level of ferocity, delivering some of their most inspiring and most heartbreaking tracks by doing the opposite: taking their time, making each breath, each syllable, each cymbal crash count.the result is a powerful, defining statement from a group of musicians that have made the best album of their career. after eighteen years and 1,400 live shows, future islands show they're not only still here, they're making the most powerful music of their fascinating, but unexpectedly long and storied, career. for future islands, albums aren’t a static reflection of a moment in time, they are a fluid chapter in their lives that can change and mutate. people change and pull away. the band is no different, coming up against their future while staring at their past.
