How many bands sing and play with all their soul? How many bands put everything they have into the music because it’s all they got and it’s all they live for? Probably not many. But Future Islands is certainly one of them. They’re proof that synthesizers can still have soul. Proof that you don’t have to act like or look like a rock band to make some noise in this industry. But if you absolutely love what you do, you can make people love it, too. “Seasons” is strangely contagious and utterly ambitious. Hands down, one of the best songs from the last 10 years.

“Seasons change, and I've tried hard just to soften you. The seasons change, but I've grown tired trying to change for you.”
