Baltimore synth-pop outfit Future Islands will release their eagerly anticipated fourth studio album, Singles, on March 25th via their new label home, 4AD. According to a press release, the follow-up to 2011’s On the Water is the band’s “boldest and most immediate work to date,” with producer Chris Coady (Beach House, Grizzly Bear, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) assisting to develop a “more polished, hi-fi sound.”
In support of the album, the band has mapped out a North American tour, which includes dates with fellow Baltimoreans Wye Oak and slots at South By Southwest and Coachella. Consult their full schedule below.
