Future Islands – From a Hole in the Floor to a Fountain of Youth (Blue/Apricot Vinyl)

Over the past twenty years, Future Islands have travelled a rare arc from promising newcomers to cult favourites to heroes of the genre. Instead of a retrospective victory lap, the band present From a Hole in the Floor to a Fountain of Youth: an immediate and accessible collection of alternate hits, rarities and fan favourites, half of which has never appeared on streaming services.

This indie-exclusive blue/apricot vinyl 2LP traces the group’s journey from humble origins toward ever-widening horizons: twenty songs for twenty years, four members, four sides of vinyl. It is a release that highlights the subtlety, grace and emotional endurance at the heart of the band’s catalogue.

Compiled by bassist William Cashion, the collection brings together songs that have travelled with listeners from house parties to headline rooms, capturing the dream, the reality and the distance between them with lasting warmth.
