Praise for AS LONG AS YOU ARE
“Melding melodic punch with brooding gloom, Future Islands’ role as new wave torch bearers is assured on a sixth album gilded with emotional and sonic depth, symptomatic of their rising status as seasoned songsmiths.” – The Line Of Best Fit, 9/10
“existential bangers from Baltimore’s most eccentric band” – NME, ★★★★
Album Of The Week – AU Review, ★★★★
“Future Islands stun once again with their sparkling synthpop that is equal parts melancholic and uplifting.” – STACK
“Brimming with confidence and dripping with arena-sized existential anthems… As Long as You Are is the rejuvenated sound of a band who finally found what they are looking for.” – Loud and Quiet
“A work of incredible density, and yet, it feels so light. A remarkable dichotomy.” – Scenestr
“One of the most anticipated albums of the season.” – Consequence of Sound
“This album feels like the next step in their story, with more deeply felt New Romantic intensity than ever.” – Rolling Stone

Today, Future Islands have released their sixth album As Long As You Are via 4AD / Remote Control Records. Earlier this week, the band launched As Long As You Are Listening, Together, an interactive real-time cooperative listening event, released a new video for ‘Born In A War’ and performed ‘For Sure’ on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
As Long As You Are looks to the past as well as the future, confronting old ghosts and embracing a new hope. It is an album about trust, full of honesty, redemption and “letting go”, allowing old wounds to heal and bringing painful chapters to a close. The album features singles ‘Born In A War’, ‘Moonlight’, ‘Thrill’
As Long As You Are is now available digitally, on CD, standard black vinyl, petrol blue vinyl (4AD and indie stores only), fluorescent orange vinyl (band store only) and cassette (4AD Store, band store and US indies only). To order, head HERE.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
