Description
Future Islands’ romantic synth sound reaches exciting new heights with *On the Water*, the Baltimore trio’s most ambitious and heartfelt album yet. Centered around a song cycle that explores love, loss, and memory, their latest work continues to deliver energetic rhythms, rich melodies, and captivating hooks – but now theyre also finding fresh ways to explore inner worlds and touch hearts. In March 2011, the band gathered in Elizabeth City, NC, at the historic, scenic Andrew S. Sanders House, where vocalist Samuel T. Herring, bassist William Cashion, and keyboardist Gerrit Welmers shared a cozy space that worked both as a studio and a home. This peaceful retreat helped them craft their most thoughtful and mature collection of songs so far, incorporating new ideas along the way. The result is a lush yet raw album that follows two intertwined journeys one physical and one emotional. On the Water’s narrator shares enough details to make their story feel truly personal and relatable.
