Re: Future Islands
check out the song 'A Song for our Grandfathers' off the new album, that's by far the best song on the record for me.

Re: Future Islands
The early Eddie Vedder comparisons are fitting I think. Both extremely theatrical, overwrought, and ridiculous. This guy is probably in on the joke, unlike Ed, but he's also totally invested and sells it.

Re: Future Islands
I saw them last night and they were OK. Maybe I wasn't as wired into the show as the rest of the audience but the rapturous applause seemed a bit out of kilter with the actual performance.

From what I hear they are super nice guys and very humble. But that being said, the music isn't for me.
