In the Fall

Future Islands

Driving basslines and icy synths meet a theatrical, soul-drenched baritone. A four-track transition into the band's signature melancholic synth-pop sound.

March 16, 2010 · Not On Label (Future Islands Self-Released)

A heavy, romantic yearning wrapped in cold synthesizers and driving rhythms.

Moments Worth Listening For
The extended synth coda of Tin Man where the melody slowly dissolves into a rhythmic pulse.
Samuel T. Herring's sudden shift from a gentle croon to a guttural, soul-baring rasp on the title track.
The way the bassline in Awake & Dreaming carries the entire melodic weight while the synths provide a ghostly wash.
