{"product_id":"future-islands-singles","title":"Future Islands - Singles","description":"\u003cp\u003eFew bands get a breakout moment like the one Future Islands had in 2014, and Singles is the album that came with it, turning the Baltimore trio into headliners.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTheir fourth album and first for 4AD was produced by Chris Coady, who gave Gerrit Welmers' synths and William Cashion's melodic bass lines a newly widescreen polish. The band had spent years honing their sound on relentless tours, so they were ready when the spotlight finally hit. Then came the Late Show with David Letterman performance of \"Seasons (Waiting On You),\" where Samuel T. Herring's chest-beating dance moves and raw, theatrical growl turned a TV slot into a viral moment that introduced the band to a whole new audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat song still opens the album, a swelling, bittersweet synth-pop anthem about change and longing. \"A Dream of You and Me\" bounces with bright, romantic energy, \"Spirit\" pulses with yearning, and \"Doves\" pushes toward dancefloor urgency without losing the band's soulful core. Herring sings every line as if his life depends on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite its title, this is a full studio album rather than a compilation, and it plays like one great idea after another. Few synth-pop records wear their heart this openly, and this is a group seizing its moment with both hands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57287067894065,"sku":"652637340211","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Future_Islands-Singles.jpg?v=1793727615","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/future-islands-singles","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
