THE FAR FIELD

Description

One single TV appearance was enough for the band Future Islands to definitively carve out a place for themselves in the world of independent music. Their performance on David Letterman’s Late Show left many speechless. Samuel T. Harding, the band’s completely possessed frontman, with his suggestive gyrations and raw, powerful voice, quickly became a web sensation. Since then, the band has toured the world and even found themselves, to everyone’s surprise, on the set of Vivement Dimanche. The band, which haunts the nights of singer Christophe, is no longer a secret. The Far Field, their fifth album, is just as lush and engaging as their previous album Singles. Samuel still possesses that singular voice, injecting a dose of soul, and the perfect blend of guitars and synths on these tracks creates an astonishingly obvious pop sound. A new addition to this album is the integration of drums played by Michael Lowry, which strengthens the effectiveness of this romantic pop with unifying melodies. A new album designed to establish Future Islands as one of the flagship bands of their generation.
