Future Islands - Before the Bridge

J Gerrit Welmers, William Cashion and Samuel T Herring have been making music together since 2003, and as Future Islands since 2006. Formed as college friends in Greenville, NC, they relocated to Baltimore after becoming friends with electronic musician Dan Deacon, an early and avid supporter of the band.

Rolling Stone describes their style as, “adding punishing heft to simple pop melodies, making blippy electropop sound oddly confrontational.” Future Islands calls it “Post-Wave,” taking in part from the emotional fragility of New Wave and coupling it with the power and drive of Post-Punk.

New single Before the Bridge will be released on 18 July as a limited edition vinyl 7-inch single.
