Singles is one of those records that manages to seep into your mind. Whether you like it or not, the vast majority of the tracks on Singles will manage to stick in your head for days after digesting the record. With that being the case, naming their new record Singles doesn't seem that crazy. Future Islands are sort of blowing up at the moment. Fresh off their performance on Letterman of the albums opening track, "Seasons (Waiting On You), the band is getting more press than they ever have. They deserve it. The album is excellent. It's not a major change from their previous work, but there have been a few noticeable tweaks here and there that make this arguably there most enjoyable record to date. I saw the band play Tuesday night, and the new material sounds great live as well (it also helps that Samuel T. Herring is probably the most entertaining front man in indie rock right now). If you have the opportunity to see these guys play in a smaller venue in the near future, take the chance, because it will probably be the last time you have the opportunity:
