A generation of lads who maintain that Bestival 2015 was the best weekend of their lives breathe a sigh of relief today, as Future Islands release new music and announce their new album The Far Field, due on April 7.
This morning, everyone's fave synth-pop brooders released "Ran," the first single from the upcoming LP. In typical Future Islands style, it's a thoughtful yet soaring and propulsive track, with a core sound of the big and reaching sort that I can imagine going down very well indeed at the band's string of US festival dates this summer (they're so far confirmed for Coachella, Bonnaroo and Panorama).
