Future Islands have today shared “The Fight”, the track is off the band’s forthcoming album, People Who Aren’t There Anymore, available January 26th 2024 via 4AD. Recently, the band shared ‘The Tower’, alongside a video directed by Jonathan van Tulleken (Top Boy, Shogun). This marks the second project Van Tulleken and Herring have worked on together following Apple TV’s The Changeling, whose first season aired this fall.

The track, a synth-based groove, lead singer Sam Herring vies for self-preservation via his trademark impassioned vocals: “I won’t fade away / I will face
every day / As if it’s my last one / And I will keep you safe / Just like our past was /Fight for love every day.”

Future Islands is Samuel T. Herring (vocals, lyrics), William Cashion (bass, guitars), Gerrit Welmers (keyboards, programming) and Michael Lowry (drums). People Who Aren’t There Anymore is the band’s seventh album and was co-produced by Future Islands and Steve Wright. It was mixed by Wright and Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Blonde Redhead, Tv On The Radio).
