Future Islands, who may be one of the best live bands on the planet, are getting ready to hit the road again. They’re touring the UK next month, which will be followed by a North American tour and a series of rescheduled European dates.

When writing about Nick Thorburn's Reefer, we also made sure to mention his work with Human Highway and, his most popular project, Islands. As far as the latter, this creepy "Creeper" clip's the first we've heard from Islands since they covered Brian Eno and themselves at Daytrotter. But forget day -- this is all about night.

This is pretty far-fetched, I know, but imagine right now you're sitting in your chair, just kind of staring off into space. Then Nick Thorburn from Islands walks in from outdoors, a paper airplane is thrown, and suddenly you're staring off into space. You know?
