Future Islands have been getting tons of attention ever since 4AD signed them and David Letterman co-signed them. One of the oddest examples is this new “moving portrait” from Google Play in which footage of bandmates Samuel T.

It’s tough to accurately describe what musical genre Future Islands work in, since they’re basically a genre unto themselves, one where dreampop atmospherics and ripped-throat death-metal roars and soul-gospel whoops can all peacefully coexist and come together into something coherent. But at heart, Future Islands’ ...

Columbus, Ohio’s Fashion Meet Music Festival, which is scheduled to take over venues around our own Chris DeVille’s hometown on Labor Day weekend, already had a pretty incoherent lineup: O.A.R.!
