Twisted synth-pop trio Future Islands are set to release their new album “In Evening Air” this month on Thrill Jockey. With it’s cracked crooning over distorted, echoing backing, “Tin Man” is a pretty good example of what they’re all about. Part cabaret and part psychodrama, Future Islands are a fascinatingly weird bunch of pop deviants.
