Future Islands To Tour Current Islands

John Rogers | Tuesday 8 November, 2011 10:48

After their one-off London show on Dec 8th (at Rhythm Factory) and an ATP festival appearance on the Dec 9th, Future Islands have announced an epic European tour in Feb/March 2012 in support of their excellent new album “On The Water”. Known as much for the deranged theatrics of singer Samuel T Herring (pictured) as they are for their catchy, pulsing synthpop, Future Islands’ live show is not to be missed. You hear that, you naughty Future Islands live show missers? Get down there!

They’ve also given away a remix of the album’s bonus track, “Crish”.

Future Islands – Crish (Javelin Remixxx) by thrilljockey

The band say of the remix: “Crish is a song that was recorded for On the Water but the lyrics weren’t completed in time to make the cut.We asked Javelin if they would do a remix of it for a bonus track.At this point, we’re not sure if our version of ‘Crish’ will ever see the light of day, but we really love what Javelin did with it… I feel like it’s more of a collaboration than a remix.”
