Future Islands have announced their new album, 'People Who Aren’t There Anymore'

Future Islands have announced their new album, 'People Who Aren’t There Anymore'.

Set for release on 26th January 2024, their seventh full-length is preceded by new single 'The Tower', which comes with a video directed by Jonathan van Tulleken.

He says of the clip: "Anyone who’s seen Sam [T. Herring (vocals, lyrics)] on stage shape shift with his whole body and voice from heart wrenchingly tender to fantastically ferocious knows that he is a truly, magnetic, performer. This was no small reason why he was cast for a role in The Changeling where he plays a complex character who appears to be one thing whilst actually another. It was a role that would be no easy task for even the most seasoned actor but Sam, applying all his stage craft, charisma, smarts and natural empathy, absolutely nailed it producing a riveting performance. I loved working with someone who came to acting via this persona they had built in their music. To then get to collaborate on a music video with the band was a delight, especially one which explores that duality of light and dark literally and metaphorically. Finding that same captivating, haunting, performance but this time with the track as script."
