Future Islands Announce Summer 2012 Tours


Future Islands Announce Summer 2012 Tours

Future Islands are pleased to announce they'll be hitting the road with Passion Pit and headlining a tour on the West Coast this summer! Renowned for their heartfelt and energetic live show, the band has catapulted from the warehouse to the big stage, selling out shows far and wide. With the release of 2011's On the Water, their enthralling reputation and critical reception continues to grow. The last year has seen the band tour the length and breadth of the US, Europe twice, and play crowd favorite sets at both Hopscotch and FYF Fest. In the process they've been invited to do sessions at KEXP, KCRW, NPR, and Daytrotter (some of which you can hear above). Due to demand, both In Evening Air and On the Water saw release on cassette for the first time in 2012 as well!

Future Islands' romantic synth sound scales new heights with On the Water, the Baltimore trio's most ambitious and fully realized statement yet. Built around a song cycle exploring love, loss, and memory, their latest album finds the band continuing to deliver pounding rhythms, swelling melodies, and undeniable hooks - but finding new ways to probe inner space and tug at hearts.
