Ahead of the release of their new album People Who Aren’t There Anymore, which drops on January 26th via 4AD Future Islands shared another new song, “Say Goodbye”. The song is an examination of a long distance relationship unravelling, with Samuel T. Herring crooning. “When I don’t wanna say goodnight / And every day without you Feels one closer to goodbye / I just need to make this world seem right / You just sleep tight, til I’m on your side.”

Future Islands have announced tour dates in Latin America for March 2024, playing shows in Mexico, Peru and Columbia’s Estereo Picnic Festival. See full list of tour dates below.

“Say Goodbye” follows previously released songs ‘The Fight,’ ‘Deep in the Night’, “King of Sweden” and “Peach”. 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.

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 was co-produced by Future Islands and Steve Wright. It was mixed by Wright and Chris Coady, who hasn’t worked with the band since 2014’s Singles.
