Last fall, the great Baltimore art-pop band Future Islands released their album As Long As You Are. Since then, they’v also covered Tina Turner and Colourbox. Right now, Future Islands are gearing up for a massive international tour, including a bunch of fall dates with Modest Mouse. And today, they’ve dropped an extremely cool surprise in the form of a new remix from electro-funk legend Egyptian Lover.

In addition to giving us a listen of lead MP3 "No You Don't" and revealing that steamy album art, today Nick Diamonds' reconfigured Islands offer a glance at the song titles that will constitute their forthcoming Vapours LP.

Yesterday we heard Sonic Youth cover an old Beck song and vice versa. Today we've got Islands' Nick Thorburn covering an even older Beck song. "Cyanide Breath Mint" can be found on the newly reissued One Foot In The Grave. Islands' take adds drums and synths and is streaming on MySpace.
