Future Islands Announce New Album People Who Aren’t There Anymore, Share “The Tower”: Stream

The post Future Islands Announce New Album People Who Aren’t There Anymore, Share “The Tower”: Stream appeared first on Consequence.

Future Islands have readied their seventh studio album, People Who Aren’t There Anymore. The full project arrives January 26th, while new single “The Tower” is out now.

The follow-up to 2020’s As Long as You Are, People Who Aren’t There Anymore was produced by Future Islands alongside Steve Wright, while Wright mixed the project with Chris Coady. It arrives on CD, cassette, standard black vinyl, transparent vinyl, and yellow and black “yolk” vinyl that features alternative artwork. Pre-orders are ongoing.

New track “The Tower” begins with almost understated synths before building to the type of shimmering chorus Future Islands are known for. “Threw a bottle across the water/ To someone who’s thinking of me,” Samuel Herring sings. In its brooding music video, directed by Johnathan Van Tulleken, he does just that, as he and bandmates William Cashion, Gerrit Welmers, and Michael Lowry walk across a deserted beach. Watch the clip below.

In addition to “The Tower,” People Who Aren’t There Anymore features Future Islands’ August comeback single  “Deep in the Night.” Below the jump, check out the record’s artwork and complete tracklist.
