In Evening Air

Future Islands

Driving synth-pop anchored by melodic, high-register bass and theatrical vocals that pivot from tender crooning to raw, soulful growls.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, guttural vocal shift in 'Tin Man' where the croon breaks into a desperate roar over the driving beat.
The way the high-register bass line in 'Walking Through That Door' carries the melody like a lead guitar.
The haunting, minimal synth pulse of the title track providing a brief, atmospheric breath before the final act.
