This is a tight band. Drummer and bassist just grooving together. Literally zero mistakes. Drummer is tight af. I can listen to that drummer all night. Keys bringing in that melody and of course otherworldly vocals. This band ages like wine.
I think most band sound better on KEXP than they do on their albums. I guess it's due to the pressure from record companies to pigeonhole everybody's sound into whatever genre happens to be selling at the time.
@@thebarf9235 I agree with the primal aspect of his performance and it's like a shockwave goes through his body as he emotes while he sings hes so expressive, down to his voice and some of his songs are like a prayer, a love letter perhaps a letter sent in a bottle sent off in a sea...or a poem he written and hidden away he finally shared with us...some songs are just uplifting period. I'm very chronically Ill and this is my favorite set to listen to at night when my pain is at its worst.
It is a good bass riff indeed that leads this song. Have you ever heard (I suppose you have) the bass riffs from the band Tame Impala?... very good too.
Everyone has a handful of bands that follow them from their youth to adulthood. In all aspects of life, these songs play in our unconscious, characterizing and building our experiences, helping us get through the trials of life. Future Islands is one of those bands. Grew up with them. Their sound is within me forever.
I've found them at 60 and your words totally resonate with me. You are lucky to have them growing. I had the 80s Kate bush, tears for fears, bod marley. So I was blessed. But these guys are totally there with them. Beautiful!
One of my all time favorite bands! The pure joy I get from listening to their music is so rare. Also one of the best live bands I've ever seen. A special group in this ramshackle world. Continue doing what you do boys...love from Canada.
Absolutely brilliant - Sam's vocals sound amazing. Not the same without Cheril Waters doing an interview but still brilliant none the less - thank you KEXP!
So you should be iam in the UK and 50 years of age and can honestly say this band are the best band I've ever heard beautiful beautiful beautiful music x
Also in the UK, one of my favourite bands. I honestly think As Long As You Are is one of the best albums of all time, you should be incredibly proud of them!
Future Islands... a nice combination of chill, euphoric and just something you want to getup and do some laidback dancy move. God they never let me down! 😁🤙
Possibly no definantly one of the most underated bands of all time vocal and musically original excellance real music is few and far between these days and this band are a rare commodity and a joy to behold on hearing every time👍👍
2 years ago I heard this morning for 3 months straight. Now I started listening to it again two months ago. Same thing. I wake up every morning and listen to it
This is just great on so many levels.nim coming from a place of being high while riding final moments. My days are numbered but what a great soundtrack this phase of my life was!
I discovered this band when I went to NYC for the first time back in May. On my last night i was in a restaurant and the song “walking through the door” came on …. Instantly hooked
Os conheci anos atrás no Jools Holland numa performance épica. Entre o estranhamento dos movimentos e a sonoridade fantástica, fui descobrir quem eram estes caras. Fantástica descoberta! Soam novo até hj.
Dude needs no masquerade...pure human on point. Can't wait to see them in Barcelona in march 2022. After that, I can die with a smile on my face. Amen😁😘😘
I cant wait to see them live in Mexico this year! Especially hear "For Sure". I just love the sound of every instrument. I love the bass and Sam's voice ❤
I sent these two beauty-songs to my mother years ago by the email quick after a few listens. Without seeing all the meanings in it I already felt a version of her story captured from it. 😢🤧
Wonderful to see you fellas. If only it were in concert! Beautiful performance from each one of you. Love your music as always. Stay safe, and fresh y’all. Love from NC!
Thanks so much, this upload was such a pleasant surprise! 👌 I have so many precious memories from their magnificent live gigs that suddenly rushed my mind and took me back, wow. It's so bittersweet during these trying times...
No shade, I promise. I had never heard this band before and I really love the sound. I took a look and my immediate thought was the singer reminds me of an accountant who decided to get up at karaoke and blew everyone away. I dig it.
Great Music, again worthy of some Letterman Show time. Great Camera work on my 65" Tv I feel I am inthe room.... Audio quality is also superb. How I wish I could sing with this Band. augh
This band grew on me sooo fast!!! I saw them in Montana recently and was blown away! I love them and his voice ❤️ so beautiful. Bless Future Islands. They carried me through the dark and cold 🙏
This is a tight band. Drummer and bassist just grooving together. Literally zero mistakes. Drummer is tight af. I can listen to that drummer all night. Keys bringing in that melody and of course otherworldly vocals. This band ages like wine.
Fuck yeah brother
Thats what i was thinking i don’t think people understand how good their bass player is
Double That Bud Row!@@plidsell
His drumming is like he’s doing a show reel…❤
Love this
4 grown men just killing it. This band is so good.
Amazingly good live
I didn't know Sam was capable of standing still :-) wonderful band, wonderful performance x
well nearly
When a band sounds identical/even better live you know they're really THAT good!
I think most band sound better on KEXP than they do on their albums. I guess it's due to the pressure from record companies to pigeonhole everybody's sound into whatever genre happens to be selling at the time.
Yes. They sound better live . Amazing
This band particularly sounds better live. Especially bc Sam can really cut loose and get a bit weird with it.
I’ll find out next month in England, can’t wait
I'm a drug addict penguin eater.
The performance of "Born in a War" is truly otherworldly. Such a damn good song. THAT BASS!!!!!
I’ve never been able to describe the sound of this band just a nostalgic sound I’m obsessed
Same. Just like war on drugs
You’ve just described it
I keep coming back to listen to this. I love it. Its cathartic. ❤
What sets these guys apart from synthpop bands of the past is Sam's unique vocal technique and the raw, almost primal emotion of his performances.
@@thebarf9235 I agree with the primal aspect of his performance and it's like a shockwave goes through his body as he emotes while he sings hes so expressive, down to his voice and some of his songs are like a prayer, a love letter perhaps a letter sent in a bottle sent off in a sea...or a poem he written and hidden away he finally shared with us...some songs are just uplifting period. I'm very chronically Ill and this is my favorite set to listen to at night when my pain is at its worst.
I love how William’s bass lines are simple yet distinct and catchy, no need for a guitarist. Love this band 🫶🏽
The bass riff in born in a war is one of the best I've ever heard
Yeah, that bass part is awesome! My fave track off the new album, too.
Agreed
As good as another one bites the dust
Really???
It is a good bass riff indeed that leads this song.
Have you ever heard (I suppose you have) the bass riffs from the band Tame Impala?... very good too.
0:00 For Sure
3:21 The Painter
8:00 Born In A War
12:10 Moonlight
Legend
Wat een power heeft deze vent
Thx Man
Thanks!
Thanks this band is so good live
KEXP sound engineers are incredible. Kudos to them and of course to Future Islands.
I want to thank The Show 21 for introducing me to one of my new favourite bands.
Same
Same three
Yup yup
Glad I’m not the only one tbh
The same!!! Greets from Belgium😉

How old are you?
@@cheeesonator They released Wave Like Home at the beginning of '07 - More than 14 years ago now
Dude you summed that up so perfect this is definitely the band that I grew up with in my teens and 20s and now 30s I love future island!!!!
Cheers
I've found them at 60 and your words totally resonate with me. You are lucky to have them growing.
I had the 80s Kate bush, tears for fears, bod marley. So I was blessed. But these guys are totally there with them. Beautiful!
this quality is unparalleled
Man, their drummer is a metronome.
Him and Anna from metronomy (what are the chances she drums for them) are too perfect at their musical timings
@@MGGeneral20 Indeed. I just checked out Wedding Bells. I think they may have named the band after her. haha.
isn't he using a metronome on his in-ears?
@@HumanBeingWithFeelings Possible. I don't mind it if so. The perfectly in-time, ethereal music contrasts nicely with Sam's more primal vocal style.
@@thebarf9235 I love them
My favorite band in the world 🎸
One of my all time favorite bands! The pure joy I get from listening to their music is so rare. Also one of the best live bands I've ever seen. A special group in this ramshackle world. Continue doing what you do boys...love from Canada.
❤
These guys just keep getting better, and I love 'em.
Absolutely brilliant - Sam's vocals sound amazing. Not the same without Cheril Waters doing an interview but still brilliant none the less - thank you KEXP!
The Painter is phenomenal. Shot straight up to one of my favourite FI songs.
Same man. I am loving that track right now.
We in Baltimore are so proud of these guys.❤️
You have to ... for sure.
So you should be iam in the UK and 50 years of age and can honestly say this band are the best band I've ever heard beautiful beautiful beautiful music x
Yeah, BALTIMORE REPPING IT EPICLY!
Good on ya..you should be all the best from the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪
Also in the UK, one of my favourite bands. I honestly think As Long As You Are is one of the best albums of all time, you should be incredibly proud of them!
His vocal is supreme
Every so often a band,a singer...and the writing come together to perform magic. This is it
I’m in the uk and these guys are without question my fav group. Superb albums and live their unbeatable
Be still my heart. Love this band.
When I listen to this it feels like ice cream is being poured on my soul
Truly amazing, stripped back and bare.. amazing band that needs to be seen live! Leeds can’t come soon enough (november 2022)
Hi Col. I am seeing them in Cardiff on Friday in what will hopefully be a wonderful night with a wonderful person!! Can’t wait. Enjoy!
@@anturiaethaucosmicadventur5364 I seen them at Newcastle earlier this year.. amazing 🤩
about to absolutely lose my mind in my office/kitchen
Hola, pegale una escucha! Indierock desde Argentina th-cam.com/video/aaP--j4Nu4k/w-d-xo.html
I hope you don't have housemates!
just pulled a neck muscle head banging at my fuckin desk yes im 36
in the office
@@BlackAndWhite1313 *in the office/kitchen*
Future Islands... a nice combination of chill, euphoric and just something you want to getup and do some laidback dancy move. God they never let me down! 😁🤙
Hi, here some ndierock from Argentina th-cam.com/video/aaP--j4Nu4k/w-d-xo.html
Possibly no definantly one of the most underated bands of all time vocal and musically original excellance real music is few and far between these days and this band are a rare commodity and a joy to behold on hearing every time👍👍
I am so glad I discovered this band a few years ago, brilliant base , drums, just a great band with a brilliant front man
I have covid right now...Sam's curing me on a cellular level.
How are you going there now?
I do hope you're better. What's your status? How do you feel?
2 years ago I heard this morning for 3 months straight. Now I started listening to it again two months ago. Same thing. I wake up every morning and listen to it
I don't understand how these guys continue to get better and better, but I'm really glad they do. 2021 definitely needs it.
You can tell how hard it is for Sam to stay still singing these songs, obviously he dearly misses jumping around stage at live concerts
I see it...I feel him..
The sound quality in this session is amazing, as is the band.
I can listen endless to this style of bass playing, its my style of playing my bass, greetings from the Netherlands, I love your music, jp
The band did amazing and Sam seems recharged, his vocals were on point. Really enjoyed the album and this session!
These guys are really something else 🙂 Absolutely loving their music.
Me too. I like them a lot. They are unique!!!
Great band... fabulous voice 🎙️🙌💖
I discovered this band during Covid. They quickly became my favorite and I listen to them a lot. I LOVE his distinctive voice.
Dancing at home, cooking up something good 💙
Hi, here some ndierock from Argentina th-cam.com/video/aaP--j4Nu4k/w-d-xo.html
Set the table, Tom. I'm coming straight from Romania.
Me too
very tight band. Beach Foam is a fantastic song. First time hearing it was late at night driving, to say it gave me chills is modest.
No one does live quite like Future Islands. Love them.
Spent last 6 months constantly engulfed in the Universe of Future Islands - Major fan for life 🏆
I can't stop listening to you guys, you are incredible, fills my soul, thank you for doing something so incredible
Probably the best they've ever sounded! So good.
honestly did not get this at first. but something compelled me to keep listening and i don't regret it one bit
I can't listen to for sure without crying 😢 what a song 😭
FUTURE ISLANDS SAVED MY LIFE
This is just great on so many levels.nim coming from a place of being high while riding final moments. My days are numbered but what a great soundtrack this phase of my life was!
A crooner with grain in his voice magical bassist and a nuanced keyboardist the drums carrying this stretched out moment in time
Lady you got it in one.
Well said
Born in a war is so powerful, gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it
Só o Future Islands para nos devolver a esperança nestes tempos sombrios. Espero um dia vê-los no Brasil.
Relatou bem, também penso da mesma forma...
Iniesta é craque!
Vou ver Future Islands em Leipzig/DE, dia 27.10.22 !!!
Music of good old magic that lasts forever . . . . .
Why do i feel like these band time travel from the 80's to the future.lm lovig the sounds
Cada vez que vuelvo escuchar el dísco ,siento es mejor
Saludos desde Lima
Vuelvan pronto.
ADORO ESTA BANDA, EXCELENTE MUSICA.
One of the best band! Great sound
The song “for sure” is life fuel
So much soul! Unbelievable!
there are so many incredible artist out there.. but future islands is something special
I discovered this band when I went to NYC for the first time back in May. On my last night i was in a restaurant and the song “walking through the door” came on …. Instantly hooked
Os conheci anos atrás no Jools Holland numa performance épica. Entre o estranhamento dos movimentos e a sonoridade fantástica, fui descobrir quem eram estes caras. Fantástica descoberta! Soam novo até hj.
That bass is amazing
Dude needs no masquerade...pure human on point. Can't wait to see them in Barcelona in march 2022. After that, I can
die with a smile on my face. Amen😁😘😘
Simply the best music I've heard
Moonlight is a masterpiece total poetry.x
This mix is totally great live.i miss you guys.keep it real and see you all soon dudes
THE PAINTER
I cant wait to see them live in Mexico this year! Especially hear "For Sure". I just love the sound of every instrument. I love the bass and Sam's voice ❤
The most joyful and fast 15 minutes to spend chilling
I sent these two beauty-songs to my mother years ago by the email quick after a few listens. Without seeing all the meanings in it I already felt a version of her story captured from it. 😢🤧
Tudo perfeito! Voz perfeita.
this voice ... is beautiful
There's Dad rock, Dad emo and Dad synthpop. Dads represent.
Best Dad SynthPop by far
Considering how old Gary numan and Midge Ure are
Ya but isn't it cool that everyone doesn't have to look the part ? You can still make music without being that teenage heartthrob or whatever
dad's rock 2020
And then, there's that sexy ass Dad prog rock.
Me siento tan bien escuchando esta banda.Brillante.
viciado no som deles, aqui no Brasil
Wonderful to see you fellas. If only it were in concert! Beautiful performance from each one of you. Love your music as always. Stay safe, and fresh y’all. Love from NC!
Thanks so much, this upload was such a pleasant surprise! 👌
I have so many precious memories from their magnificent live gigs that suddenly rushed my mind and took me back, wow. It's so bittersweet during these trying times...
Lost the love of my fucking life in 2020. This album has really helped me. 💔 Thank you Future Islands. xxxxxx
Future Islands is TOTALLY PERFECT! ❤
Beautiful performance.
Without Future Islands life wouĺd be a mistake.
No shade, I promise. I had never heard this band before and I really love the sound. I took a look and my immediate thought was the singer reminds me of an accountant who decided to get up at karaoke and blew everyone away. I dig it.
Right!
I'm so proud i got my start in some of the same places they did, this album really hit home! Thanks KEXP for this!
Their music is both sad and joyful at the same time, quite a rare combination
Just discovered this today, brilliant band.
Great Music, again worthy of some Letterman Show time. Great Camera work on my 65" Tv I feel I am inthe room.... Audio quality is also superb. How I wish I could sing with this Band. augh
Thank God for the show
What a great sounding performance, I could listen all day to it!!
This band grew on me sooo fast!!! I saw them in Montana recently and was blown away! I love them and his voice ❤️ so beautiful.
