Future Islands
Biography
Future Islands began when Samuel, William and Gerrit started writing songs together in the guise of absurdist party project Art Lord & The Self Portraits back in 2003. It was with the arrival of Eric Murillo on drums that the band rid themselves of the mythology and masks, taking on a new motive and the name Future Islands. With the change their sound became exponentially faster and surprisingly powerful. They quickly wrote and recorded an EP entitled Little Advances in time for their first tour late 2006 and haven't looked back since. New album Wave Like Home was created in the summer of 2007, with the help of producer Chester Endersby Gwazda and successfully denotes the uplifting energy of the band's live shows whilst still staying true to their 4-track hearts.
