Future Islands - As Long As You Are (Vinyl)

Future Islands - As Long As You Are (Vinyl) Future Islands will release As Long As You Are, their sixth studio record, on Friday 9 October via 4AD / Remote Control Records. As Long As You Are looks to the past as well as the future, confronting old ghosts and embracing a new hope. It is an album about trust, full of honesty, redemption and Ületting goÝ, allowing old wounds to heal and bringing painful chapters to a close. Together, the four-piece took on official production duties for the first time, co-producing As Long As You Are with engineer Steve Wright at his Wrightway Studios in Baltimore. Their brand of new wave synth-pop full of bright melodies and heavenly choruses is as euphoric and uninhibitedly joyful as anything the band has done in their 14-year career. ØAs Long As You AreÙ also signals a new era for Future Islands. Drummer Mike Lowry officially joins as a fully-fledged member and songwriter bolstering the founding trio of William Cashion, Samuel T. Herring and Gerrit Welmers.
