Future Islands' new album makes me want to watch this outfit like a hawk. With this sound, I feel like the potential to put out something great. There are certainly some really bright moments on this album like "Walking Through That Door" and "Swept Inside," but there are pieces that fall to the wayside in terms of songwriting or production quality.

Even though this release is over thirty minutes, it still comes off feeling like a disjointed EP, not a fully fleshed LP based on a cohesive theme.

Still, the vocals, keyboards, and drum machines are a killer combo for these guys. I'm sure they could work with other dynamics, but there's definitely some room to grow here.

7/10

  • like omg. wait. i made a grammatical mistake ! I said 'it' instead of 'is'. I cannot go on !

  • um. hi. question : did you make this mix for future islands just so you can occasionally hear yourself speak? Cause - i just kinda wish you wouldn't. Speak that it, because I love future islands and the sound of your voice or "two cents" is kinda ruining it.

  • your gay-tarted, but kinda have good taste in hipster music

  • Anthony, I keep running into your reviews as I grasp for any straws I can to find some new exciting bands for us to use in our movies (dont check my Youtube, check Vimeo for the new shit).

    Like Vireos eye, and will listen more to them. Looking forward to bumping into your channel again! :-)

  • 4:26 LAAAA!

  • @zephyrseija super saiyen

    

  • yeah!Future islands is awesome. The way they put together strong vocals in opposite to the colorful melodies made by so hard sensitive and heartbreaking lyrics could be a strange mix, but they are able to do it and do it so good

  • That review is spot on.
