The Future is Now

Listen up everybody: There is an album coming out in May that is so good it might kill you. If you turn it up loud enough it, it has the power to override your basic survival instincts for eating and sleeping in favor of just playing it over and over. At the very minimum you will begin carrying the album around on your ipod and plugging it into stereos and forcing it on DJs everywhere you go. The band is Future Islands and the album—out May 4 on Thrill Jockey—is called In Evening Air. If you think you can handle it, check out the brand new video for their song "Tin Man," directed by our boy Jay Buim. Also, Tokion will be helping to host Future Islands' New York record release party at Death By Audio in Williamsburg on May 1. You're gonna want to be there.
