Future Islands

Future Islands is an American synthpop band based in Baltimore, Maryland, and signed to 4AD. The band is composed of Gerrit Welmers (keyboards and programming), William Cashion (bass, acoustic and electric guitars), and Samuel T. Herring (lyrics and vocals). Future Islands formed in January 2006 in Baltimore, Maryland.

History

The band met and formed while studying art at East Carolina University in Greenville. Their first band was Art Lord & the Self-Portraits, which included Samuel T. Herring, William Cashion, Gerrit Welmers, Adam Beeby, and Kymia Nawabi. That band lasted from February 2003 until fall of 2005. In 2006, Cashion, Herring, and Welmers formed Future Islands with Erick Murillo, who played an electronic drum kit.

Future Islands released Little Advances in April 2006 and a self-released split CD with Welmers' solo project Moss of Aura in January 2007. They recorded their debut album "Wave Like Home" with Chester Endersby Gwazda at Backdoor Skateshop in Greenville, NC later that year. London-based label Upset the Rhythm released Wave Like Home in the Summer of 2008. The cover art was designed by Kymia Nawabi, a former member of Art Lord & the Self-Portraits.

Before The Bridge

by: Future Islands

I will walk you home and I will leave you there
I'll take the books you stole
And leave the heart that bared - this soul
I hope you have what you need
(I hope the moon is listening)
I hope you have what you need
(I gave my soul, my body)
I hope you have what you need
(I hope the moon is listening)
I hope you have what you need
(I gave you soul and body)
And if things hadn't changed
I would have buried you deep in my arms
And if things had stayed the same
I would have carried you as far as the stars
Whatever has us know
I can't forget, somehow
For, to forget a love, is to regret
And, what is love, is regret
And, what isn't love is a test
And if things hadn't changed
I would have buried you deep in my arms
And if things had stayed the same
I would have carried you as far as the stars
Do you believe in love?
Do you believe in love?
Hold your tongue...
Hold your tongue...
Whatever has us now
I can't forget somehow
