Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Future Islands arrived as a breath of fresh air (perhaps bottled on Venus) in 2014 with Singles, an album with an emotional earnestness that set it apart from the rest of the indie genre.
After a ton of shows and a few side projects, today they announce their follow-up: The Far Field, which consists of 12 tracks and was recorded at Sunset Sound in LA (previously host to The Beach Boys and Prince).
Blondie’s Debby Harry will compliment Samuel T. Herring’s distinctive baritone on one song, with the album being described thus:
‘Across The Far Field's twelve chest-pounding love songs and odes to the road, Future Islands brilliantly expresses the band's central theme they've been exploring for last decade: that there is power in emotional vulnerability, that one can find a way to laugh and cry in the same breath - and be stronger for it.’
The Far Field is out 7 April. The track list is as follows:
Aladdin
Time On Her Side
Ran
Beauty Of The Road
Cave
Through The Roses
North Star
Ancient Water
Candles
Day Glow Fire
Shadows
Black Rose
