Singles is the fourth studio album by American synthpop band Future Islands, released on March 24, 2014 through 4AD Records. The album's lead single "Seasons (Waiting on You)" was picked as the best track of 2014 by NME, Pitchfork Media and Spin. Singles received acclaim from contemporary music critics.

Released on October 11, 2011, On the Water was Future Islands' 3rd album. Produced by Chester Endersby Gwazda, it was recorded in Elizabeth City, NC’s historic waterfront on the Pasquotank River. The band spent 10 days at the Andrew S. Sanders House, the family house of their college friend Abe Sanders. They wrote the half the album there and then recorded it, from late May to early June 2011. The album opens and closes with field recordings of water sounds. On the album’s title, the band explained: The very first song that was written for the album was On The Water.

Future Islands are on the up-and-up. The unapologetic romanticism of last year’s In Evening Air jettisoned the Baltimore cartoon-pop sensibilities of their earlier, uptempo synthpunk, and the newfound seriousness endeared the band to audiences, drew widespread critical acclaim - such as it was, in the independent music world - and propelled them to later festival slots more appropriate to the album’s title. Now, on On the Water, they’ve paced themselves, slowed down the tempos, and left room for ambience, such that the album’s fevered points hit much more poignantly. On the Water breathes with cinematic energy. Don’t bless me/ We don’t want your blessing, Herring howls.

Future Islands' romantic synth sound scaled new heights with 2011's On the Water, the Baltimore trio's most ambitious and fully realized statement yet. Built around a song cycle exploring love, loss, and memory, their third album finds the band continuing to deliver pounding rhythms, swelling melodies, and undeniable hooks - but finding new ways to probe inner space and tug at hearts.

Talk about Future Islands - On The Water


Mopimicr
This isn't my usual thing to listen to such music, but this album is an emotional journey. Hits you hard like falling in loveWould like to heard Close to None live one day. It's just pure euphoriaToo bad the pressing isn't the best... Quiet and not really dynamic.
