Wave Like Home

Future Islands

Gritty, unpolished synth-pop with a punk heart. Driving basslines and raw vocals capture the restless energy of a band finding its voice in the underground.

March 2008 · Not On Label (Future Islands Self-Released)

Find on Amazon

A restless, salt-sprayed urgency that balances romantic yearning with a gritty punk edge.
