Anyone who’s ever seen Future Islands perform live knows that frontman Samuel T. Herring is not a man who stands still. He is constantly moving, often violently and suddenly, but always with intensity. That’s why it’s no surprise that in the video for the band’s new single “Ran”, Herring does just what the title suggests. Directed by Albert Birney, the clip finds Herring racing through the streets of Baltimore out into the Maryland countryside, desperate for an escape into peace. Watch the video above.
“Ran” is the lead single off Future Island’s forthcoming record, The Far Field. In support of the April 7th release via 4AD, they’ve expanded their 2017 tour schedule. Find the updated itinerary below.
