Future Islands and Future Dancing

At Last an interesting band on Later With Jools Holland

Every week I watch Jools Holland waiting to be impressed by a new band and every week I am disappointed. This week was different. Future Islands knocked me out with their performance of Seasons (Waiting On You). People were raving about their performance on the David Letterman show in March but I would argue that this performance was even better.

So many bands use electronic sounds in their line up but they always seem so bland and boring. What makes Future Islands different is that they are a great band and have a passionate singer in Samuel T Herring. His chest thumping and interesting dance moves hypnotize you. The orchestral keyboards, pulsating bass and low key percussion keep you transfixed. I have listened to this about five times now. That doesn't happen very often nowadays. I am now hooked on this band from Baltimore after listening to their songs on Sound Cloud. Thank you Future Islands and Thank you Baltimore. 'Charm City'.
