Future Islands, an American synth-pop band formed in 2006 in Greenville, North Carolina, has carved a unique niche in the indie music scene with their emotive performances and distinctive sound. The original lineup consisted of Gerrit Welmers (keyboards and programming), William Cashion (bass, acoustic and electric guitars), Samuel T. Herring (lyrics and vocals), and Erick Murillo (drums). Their debut album, *Wave Like Home*, was released in 2008 under the London-based label Upset the Rhythm, featuring the cover art by Kymia Nawabi, a former member of their previous band, Art Lord & the Self-Portraits. Following Murillo's departure in late 2007, the band relocated to Baltimore, Maryland, in 2008, which became a pivotal move in their career. In Baltimore, they recorded their sophomore album, *In Evening Air*, in 2010, followed by *On the Water* in 2011, both under the Thrill Jockey label. These albums showcased the band's evolving sound, blending synth-pop with indie rock elements, and established their reputation for heartfelt lyrics and dynamic live shows.
A significant breakthrough came in 2014 with the release of their fourth album, *Singles*, under the 4AD label. The lead single, "Seasons (Waiting on You)," garnered widespread acclaim and was named the best song of 2014 by publications such as Pitchfork and NME. Their performance of this track on *The Late Show with David Letterman* in March 2014 became a viral sensation, propelling the band into the mainstream spotlight. Continuing their momentum, Future Islands released *The Far Field* in 2017, which included a duet with Debbie Harry of Blondie. Their sixth studio album, *As Long as You Are*, arrived in 2020, featuring singles like "For Sure" and "Moonlight." Throughout their career, the band has been recognized for their compelling live performances and has maintained a consistent presence in the indie music scene. Their discography reflects a commitment to exploring emotional depth and musical innovation, earning them a dedicated fan base and critical acclaim.
