Future Islands announce new album, share a taster of the first single

After the success of previous album Singles and the hundreds of Future Islands shows played following its release, the trio came off the road and jumped straight into solo projects.

The band began writing new material in January 2016 on the coast of North Carolina, and continued throughout the year in Baltimore before road-testing these songs at a series of secret shows under fake names.

Later that year, they travelled to Los Angeles to record with Grammy Award-winning producer John Congleton at the legendary Sunset Sound, where everyone from The Beach Boys to Prince have laid down masterpieces.

The Far Field is released worldwide on April 7. It will be available digitally, on 180gm white and standard black LP, CD, cassette formats and as a unique, first-of-its-kind miniature LP.

Listen to a snippet from the first single off the album, 'Ran'.
