The new Future Islands record, On The Water, is due out on October 11th via Thrill Jockey, and to support the affair the band is pulling out all the stops. Well, maybe not ALL the stops, but you know, they are making music videos and touring. And that is good enough for us!
Today the band has a well-made clip for the album track “Balance,” which was directed by Jay Buim. In addition, the band has a ton of tourdates in support of the upcoming album, which includes appearances at FYF Fest and Hopscotch Music Festival, as well as a trek that will circle the U.S. starting in Washington D.C. and ending back home in Baltimore. Check out the video and the dates below.
