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’ sound is a warped, dramatic take on synthpop, and now [...]

Islands: & Idiot Glee – “Are You Sleeping?” (Harry Nilsson Cover)
