Future Islands detail plans for 20th anniversary double LP ‘From A Hole In The Floor To A Fountain Of Youth’
Their new collection will feature alternate hits, rarities, and fan favourites - some of which have never appeared on streaming services.

Future Islands have shared that they’ll be marking their two decades as a band with a special new release - an almost anti-‘greatest hits’ compilation that will bring together alternative cuts from across those twenty years, most of which have previously only been released on vinyl.
Due to hit shelves (and streaming services) on 22nd May via 4AD, the double LP comes in the wake of the band’s latest studio album, ‘People Who Aren’t There Anymore’, which landed back in 2024.
Our first previews of the compilation - evocatively titled ‘From A Hole In The Floor To A Fountain Of Youth’ - come in the form of double single ‘Sail’ and ‘Find Love’; the first is a 2025 number originally released on a VIP tour-only 7”, while the latter dates from 2011 and appeared on Future Islands’ ‘Before the Bridge’ 7”.
Speaking on the project, bassist William Cashion has mused: “the hole in the floor is the everyday, but the fountain is the magic that happens when the life you dreamed about actually becomes the one you’re living. It’s the dream and the reality existing in the same room.
“This is for everyone who has carried these songs with them, from the first house parties to the rooms we’re playing today.”
Watch the lyric videos for ‘Sail’ and ‘Find Love’ below.
