They are laughing because he looks like a fucking moron. I dig the dancing, but, their is no denying how stupid it looks to people who aren’t already fans

Me too ❤

Such an under-rated song. Fell in love with it from the first time I heard it. Still never get enough of it.

[@ericrabaey2889]

The same with me!👍

[@stevenewer1]

Amazing for so many reasons . The drummer is cool and in the moment .. the keyboardist has head down and concentrates to create that quirky wavering synthesiser sound .. the bass player reminds me of random dudes in holland in 89..with a 70 s haircut ... and the front man is just brilliantly insane ... I can honestly say I've never seen anything like his moves ..total and utter loonacy that only John Cleese could rival. brilliant .. just brilliant ..it made my new years eve

[@seefeelsixtynine]

he's channeling david brent's disco moves

[@rjlplondon]

THATS a front man!

[@erick3842008]

so I'm at home watching MTV, ok the normal MTV crap was playing, until Jools Holland put Future Islands on there, I kept watching, but then something happened,...Herring Started to dance, it was weird at first, but then I kept watching, He started to sing, and that was it, I know that I was watching something really special. I compare this with the first time I saw Bono from u2, this is HUGE! This band is the Mother load! I'm in baby, all the way I hope they come California so I can go see them. I'm in! count me in

[@creekmud2857]

I was watching the David Letterman show when I first saw these guys I felt the exact same feeling!

[@adderon]

They do have the U2 effect...thought the same thing the first time I saw The Walkmen perform at a tiny club with no A/C in Seattle in 2002

[@eugenekeher978]

I love their music , he certainly puts it all in , superb band .

I was introduced to their music 2 days ago. Loving it.

[@goexplorelearn]

This never never grows old,- those moves, that emotion, those facial expressions - the fact that the others look like a different band altogether - priceless

[@DieGroteske]

Sublime. This would totally fly past my radar, but the passion, wild elegance and joyous commitment elevate this to something that just fits anybodys musical taste.

My fave band since 2015 and still are in 2017. Saw them perform at the Enmore in Sydney on 4th Dec 2017. Absolutely brilliant. The crowd was in awe and gave a 10 minute standing ovation when this song finished. Sam Herring looked stunned as he stood on the stage with the band being drowned in huge applause . He said " thank you Sydney that was fucking awesome".

[@petershram5914]

They've a loyal following that makes every performance feel like a reunion. Looking forward to catching them again when they're back in the US. Lov'em!!

So pleased to find this, I was watching this on NYE and haven't seen it since. I didn't know the name of the band or the song but thought I'd find it under Jools' vids and here it is...such a brilliant performance, must admit I wasn't sure whether to laugh at him or with him (the lead singer) at first but by the end it's obvious he just loves his work and gives zero fucks about anything but putting his all into his performance and I LOVE that. ROCK ON dude..

I’ve commented on so many of their live videos already, but i just cant stop watching them! Im seeing them live in july, but I first found them back in about 2017 ish. Funny enough it was Caves, and playing in an old navy. I had just come from seeing thor ragnarok in movie, and was standing in the changing room. I didnt even have shazam so I was FIGHTING to find it with the 2 lines of lyrics Id remembered. So glad i did 😭❤️
