[@ffejbboc]

The bass & keyboards really blend well in this band's sound. Really good stuff.

[@iandraper32]

Is it just me that detects a bit of " Joy Division " here ...???

[@paulchavei5339]

Truly unique with a smooth dash of retro, new wave,90's pop and dipped in this new era. Love singing to this so loud in the car, you should as well. Quality everlasting music.

[@IzaNinJah]

I feel like I need everyone I know to like them now, they are so flipping fun to listen/sing/dance to!

[@micahclawrence]

I'll take all of that ya got!

[@davewinst1]

Had the pleasure of watching them live in Manchester, best band I’ve ever seen live

[@espenbaklid3178]

Saw them recently here in native Norway, and my goodness how many tears, impressions and goosebumps I was left with! Anyone reading this, that has a chance of seeing them: BUY THAT TICKET, DON'T EVEN HESITATE

[@adventurefaps9571]

I hope they tour near me one day. Havent gotten lucky in the 6 years I've listened to them. One day hopefully

[@pedrokz]

Robbie Williams + Russell Crowe = Awesomeness

[@mauriciolazo]

[@zyonmdc]

[@MWingler]

Jerry Shoemaker nailed it is exactly what I was gonna say 😂

[@FredericHaentjens]

I wrestled by the sea A loneliness in me I asked myself for peace And found it at my feet Staring at the sea All that glitters is gold Don't believe what you've been told People lie, people love, people go But beauty lies, in every soul I wrestled by the sea A dream of you and me I let it go from me It washed up at my feet Staring at the sea All that glitters is gold Don't believe what you've been told People lie, people love, people go But beauty lies, in every soul If you wait, if you wait for the morning If you wait, if you wait for the morning If you wait, if you wait for the morning If you wait, if you wait for the morning How long, how long How long, how long I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace I asked myself for peace And found a piece of me Staring at the sea

[@otrinity8381]

Thank you! I'm in LOVE with this band!

[@maha77]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this brings tears to my eyes. This entire album is perfection

[@donperry8627]

Would it kill us to have this and music like this playing during commercials and top 40 contemp? Seriously. I hate what’s shoved at us. It’s embarrassing.

[@JohnnyZBeatZ]

So underrated live there music is better live

[@TheDavidjrobertson]

Just heard this on later with Jools holland ... Great stuff... (Peace!)

[@pamtufnell6751]

I love your lyrics

[@Jason-us4ye]

on a tourist bus coming back from Amsterdam to Brussels - high as a kite - with this gem pulsing through the headphones ✌

[@cristianchalco279]

No creas lo que te han dicho! La gente miente, la gente ama, la gente se va...! Pero la belleza reside en cada alma!

[@fabriciomoura6350]

What a bass, dudes!

[@christophinstreasures6828]

This is new wave incarnate. Love the melancholic basslines reminiscent of Joy Division, New Order, The Care. The Wild Swans, list goes on....

[@rosscobosco]

[@timinno]

[@suicidesqueeze]

I love this song. I had the opportunity to see these guys open for Beck a month ago in front of 30,000 people in Salt Lake City and Future Islands just played their hearts out. It was really cool, keep it up guys! We appreciate what you're doing and how you're doing it. Thanks for the upload too KEXP.

[@TomaszKowalczykComposer]

[@steffers178]

❤⚘🎧 " I ask myself for peace"

[@chinwendu]

:D

[@thegrimyeaper]

I always listen to their live performances instead of the actual album, which sounds harsh, flat and awful. Whoever produced and mixed should find other jobs.

[@thegrimyeaper]

I agree with my past self.

[@Jonathancamargotrindadetri-d7j]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@TheEDIS1979]

Man at Work?

[@warchief4325]

Perf!

[@superpig4589]

Saw them open for Avett brothers tonight, and I enjoy listening to these recordings but on stage he would just do these guttural roars, completely killed the vibe
