True story, I was driving to work today blasting Sundara Karma’s debut album quite gleefully when my mind strayed to one of my all time favorite bands (since long before their prior album), Future Islands. I started musing over how wonderful it might be if Future Islands announced a new album and dropped a new tune. After all, it’s been well over two years since the brilliance of last album Singles, and though it’s been fabulous taking in all the side collaborations Samuel Herring has been involved in (including a whole lot of hip hop), I miss these Baltimore fellows and their synthwavey music. And of course, there’s Sam’s raspy bellowing voice and his impassioned dance moves. I can never have enough of either of those in my life. Well, bizarrely enough, fast forward to tonight and guess who just announced a new album and revealed a new single? The Far Field arrives April 7th via 4AD. Its lead single, Ran, is an unbridled whirler. It hits the ground running, spinning us round and round. My love for all that is Future Islands is yet again renewed, fervent lyrics and all. You can pre-order the new album digitally, on 180 gram white and standard black vinyl, as a unique miniature LP, or on CD and cassette tape, here. Now, excuse me as I listen to Ran again and try to put forth my best Samuel Herring dance moves, chest pounding and hip gyration included.

It’s the day after Future Islands’ recent appearance on Conan. By bassist William Cashion’s estimate, he and bandmates Samuel Herring and Gerrit Welmers are pretty comfortable on TV. After all, burning through “Cave” was the 10th time they’ve done a late-night appearance. But for all their casual bravado, there’s something coloring the television experience that the band can’t forget.

To run away is easy It's the leaving that's hard Running away is easy It's the living that's hard And loving you was easy It was you leaving that scarred

When you can’t have a thing Time moves slow When you're lost in the dream Time moves slow When you wait by the phone Time moves slow When you're all alone Time moves slow
