First glimpse
Watch Future Islands debut new song ‘Haunted’ live in Sheffield
Group are midway through a run of huge UK shows.
On their current run of UK dates, Baltimore’s Future Islands have been showcasing two new tracks, ‘The Chase’ and ‘Haunted’.
Footage has emerged of the group playing ‘Haunted’ live at The Plug, Sheffield. A gorgeous, unwinding number, it takes the biggest elements of 2014 breakthrough ‘Singles’ and strings them out even further.
Yesterday Future Islands’ label, 4AD, posted a picture of the band outside Abbey Road Studios, London. So there’s a chance we could be seeing new material very soon.
