"Too many bands in the era of buzz and the blog are taken before their time. The spotlight hits hard and finds a group who has not yet developed, not yet put in the work to find their sound and hone it and make themselves better, and just as quickly they're gone. Future Islands are not one of those bands."

THR 235CD
"Comprised of J. Gerrit Welmers (synthesizers and programming), William Cashion (bass), and Samuel T. Herring (vocals), Future Islands has continued to make passionate music through an electronic medium for the past four years (although the three have been working and performing since the spring of 2003). They call their music 'Post-Wave,' taking in part from the emotional fragility of new wave and coupling it with the power and drive of post-punk. Their music is spearheaded by Welmers, whose layers of synths and drums create the landscape for Cashion's punching-strum style, that pulses and fights -- the two creating noise and bliss. Herring, who has been called 'one of the most magnetic frontmen in indie rock,' finds his space in between, carving through the music, at times, with a whispering croon, and at others with a deathly wail."

"Future Islands' romantic synth sound scales new heights with
On the Water
, the Baltimore trio's most ambitious and fully realized statement yet. Built around a song cycle exploring love, loss, and memory, their latest album finds the band continuing to deliver pounding rhythms, swelling melodies, and undeniable hooks - but finding new ways to probe inner space and tug at hearts. What emerged is a lush yet visceral album about two parallel journeys--one physical and one psychological.
On the Water's
narrator offers enough detail that their story feels personal, yet open enough that any listener can inhabit each twist and emotional pang as their own."

"Future Islands are a post-wave dance band from North Carolina -- now residing in the fertile 'music capital of awesome' Baltimore. Future Islands play a terse yet passionate music wrought from a stripped back palette. Gerrit Welmers' cartwheeling synthesizer melodies tumble across the austere wilderness of William Cashion's post punk bass pulse, driven ever forward by Eric Murillo's ecstatic feel for rhythm. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the band's sound however takes shape in the form of Sam Herring's distinctive guttural vocal, delivered as Glenn Danzig if he ever found himself in a Shakespearean tragedy.
Wave Like Home
is a breathless testament to romance and grasping chances, forever enthralled to the optimism of trying again. It's a sincere and sometimes painfully honest record about chasing broken dreams and finding courage in a forsaken heart. An album infatuated with timescales like always and forever. From the broken elegy of woozy opener 'Pangea' through the euphoric fun trips of 'Old Friend' and the upbeat 'Seize A Shark,' the album never drifts far from reflection amongst its highest highs. For every throbbing track recalling breakneck pursuits there's a soulful reminder of the quieter side of a melodramatic heart. 'Beach Foam' is glorious, swelling synth work perfectly capturing the crashing waves that incite such hungry philosophy in the song. 'In these arms I can feel my home, breaking from inside' sings a desperate and forlorn Samuel on title track 'Wave Like Home.' 'Save me from loving you always,' he retorts on sober paean 'Heart Grows Old.' For all the hope and regret felt across the album it is rather apt that final track 'Little Dreamer' catches up with Future Islands at their most starry-eyed. Not even the chatter of birdsong can drown out the unabashed sweet sentiment of this closing song, so deeply consumed it holds a torch up into the darkness of the coldest corner of humanity."
