On the heels of last week’s release of their seventh album People Who Aren’t There Anymore (4AD), Future Islands have unveiled an Ivana Bobic directed video for the song “The Thief” and announced a North American tour in further support of the project.

The dates kick off in Boston on June 19 and include a stop at the legendary Radio City Music Hall in New York on June 20. They augment Future Islands’ previously announced touring plans in South America in March. An artist presale starts tomorrow (Jan. 31) at 10 a.m. local time, while Spotify and venue presales begin the following day at the same time. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. local.

People Who Aren’t There Anymore heralds a new chapter for Future Islands who, despite having formed nearly two decades ago, continue to challenge themselves and each other. Where they’ve pursued ever-higher energy anthems in the past, they’ve turned inward this time and unlocked a new level of ferocity. The album delivers some of their most inspiring and heartbreaking tracks by doing the opposite: taking their time, and making each breath, syllable and cymbal crash count.
