Future Islands have toured steadily over the past year, promoting their fifth LP, 2017’s The Far Field. In a recentRolling Stone interview, frontman Samuel Herring enthused about his love of live performance.
“I don’t really have a ‘happy place’; a happy memory is also something you long for, something that’s not there, so I don’t really have them,” he said. “I go to the coast when I’m home and it makes me feel like a kid again. It’s beautiful to hear the sounds, to smell it. … But it all becomes the longing for something that’s not there. My happiest place in this world is the stage. That’s where I have purpose. It’s what makes me know I deserve to be – not that I need to be – on this earth.”
