Future Islands

I've never really given Future Islands a fair shake.  I don't know why.  I listen to a ton of stuff, and sometimes things just slip through the cracks, are catch me at the wrong time, or just don't jump up and punch me in the nuts when that's what i'm looking for.  But then i heard the band's "Seasons (Waiting on You)" in the car today while driving back from Houston...and it just worked for me.  This morning was emotionally difficult for me and my whole extended family of longtime friends, and for some reason, the vibe on this song just seems to wrap a whole lot of melancholy and celebration into four cathartic pop minutes.  It's what i needed this afternoon.  Watch the video below and grab "Singles" from 4AD.
