| | Description: | 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 â??letting goâ?, allowing old wounds to heal and bringing painful chapters to a close.
As Long As You Are also signals a new era for Future Islands. Drummer Mike Lowry officially joins as a fully-fledged member and songwriter bolstering the founding trio of William Cashion, Samuel T. Herring and Gerrit Welmers. Together, the four-piece took on official production duties for the first time, co-producing As Long As You Are with engineer Steve Wright at his Wrightway Studios in Baltimore. Their brand of new wave synth-pop full of bright melodies and heavenly choruses is as euphoric and uninhibitedly joyful as anything the band has done in their 14-year career.
On As Long As You Are release day, October 9, Future Islands will be exclusively live-streaming a very special show from their hometown of Baltimore.

True to the band's recognizable style, the record blends emotionally charged vocals with pulsating synths, warm bass lines and driving rhythms. Lyrically, it explores themes of vulnerability, perseverance, love and self-reflection, offering an intimate look at human relationships and the passage of time. The songs are characterized by atmospheric soundscapes and memorable melodies that balance melancholy and hope, making this album suitable both for attentive listening on headphones and as a powerful soundtrack for late-night drives or reflective moments at home. Fans of thoughtful, melodic indie and synth-pop will find a cohesive, well-crafted work that invites repeated listening and reveals new nuances with every spin.
Future Islands, formed in the mid-2000s, became widely known for their emotionally intense performances and the distinctive baritone of singer Samuel T. Herring.

The band is also renowned for their electrifying live shows, which have helped them build a devoted international fan base across festivals and tours. "As Long As You Are" continues this evolution, underscoring their reputation as one of the most expressive and enduring acts in contemporary synth-pop.
