FUTURE ISLANDS video AND uk tour ! ! !

This video rules! It's for Happiness from the Feathers & Hallways 7" we released earlier this year. Chicago based filmmaker and producer, Joel Fernando made it, here's some of his words about it:

"The video is a psychedelic hodgepodge of fantasy and color, featuring 65 + people from the Baltimore, New York City, Chicago and North Carolina areas, filmed one by one on green screen and combined together to appear as a group in this video".

Green screen, well I never, could've fooled me!! Future islands will be in the UK soon, touring with super chums EAR PWR, check out the dates...
