Future Islands, a Baltimore - based three - piece synth - pop band, emerged unexpectedly to win over fans and critics. Since 2006, they've been making waves on the small - club circuit. Their shows are a real spectacle, led by front - man Samuel T. Herring. His normal - looking style hides an uninhibited spirit that shines when he grabs the mic. When they appeared on 'Late Show With David Letterman', the world discovered Herring's talent and the band's secret was out. Beyond the theatrics, their music is top - notch. Herring's unconventional voice fits perfectly into the pop framework set by Gerrit Welmers' programming and William Cashion's guitar and bass. Their songs range from gentle, melancholic moments to full - on ecstatic ones, showing the band's mastery of the musical spectrum. Future Islands aim to inspire impulsive and unrestrained behavior in their audience, and it's clearly working. This is a black vinyl pressing from the music label 4AD in 2014.
