Future Islands are an emotionally charged synth pop group, known for their dexterous melodic touch, stately momentum and impassioned delivery. Over the past twenty years they have travelled a rare arc, from promising newcomers to best-kept secret, from cult favourites to heroes of the genre. As they reach this remarkable milestone, they resist the obvious move. Instead of a ‘best-of’ compilation victory lap, Future Islands present From a Hole in the Floor to a Fountain of Youth – an immediate and accessible collection half of which have never appeared on streaming services comprising alternate hits, rarities, and fan favourites that showcases the band’s palette and bringing further colour to their uniquely universal appeal. Twenty songs for twenty years, four members of the band, four sides of vinyl. Blue & apricot colored vinyl. “The best synth-pop band of the 21st century… a band of renaissance men who can make a sublime and meticulous genre like synth-pop feel grandiose and loose” – Paste
