OLD HABITS DIE HARD

Written, produced and mixed by Emily Frost
Lyric video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RS0oQa84H4Y
LYRICS:
Guilt is a beating of its own 
I hope the charged will rejoin 
With the underworld 
With the underworld 
Will I ever find my peace? 
I'll follow you, I'll follow you to the end 

Pain always knows who wants it 
Blame yourself for hiding in this underworld 
Curled up inside my wounds 
My mind is inside out 
and we are drifting apart 

Dreams as soft as illusions 
Clouds of poison above us 
Breathe out the smoke 
Breathe out the smoke before it smothers us 

In this underworld 
curled up inside my wounds 
My mind is inside out 
and we are drifting apart 

Count the days to see his face 
It's hard to wash the guilt away 
I've travelled far into this space to see you again 
He breathes as wild as a dying flame 
He wants to break his endless shame 
Softly spoken words fade 
He walks away 

In this underworld 
curled up inside my wounds 
My mind is inside out 
and we are drifting apart 


In this underworld 
curled up inside my wounds 
My mind is inside out 
and we are drifting apart

We tend to duck when the truth spits
Gun clicks in consonance with the concept of time...tick, tick
My environment devised by lying men
Imperium of delirium, a stranger to elated sentiments 
Lost internally in some unknown distance, screaming out rejection
Am I demented to dare question?
The regulated messes vested in this nation under God
The blood streaks of stars and stripes that certify your social bond
Screaming please let me be, I'll allow myself to be deceived
For the sake of safety, sedated by the crave for TV dreams
Its passive habits from a generation abandoned
Consumer zombies that frolic to the avenues of Madison
Its the zeitgeist of high tech intellectual bandits
Our love will never be income, its considered beyond logical standards 
So what the fuck is logic, when too many questions is a problem 
We pardon ourselves from the nuisance, distorted by the gossip

Blood Streaks of Stars & Stripes

Blood Streaks Of Stars & Stripes (prod. Nea)

Artist: Future Islands
Title: Tomorrow / Fountain 7”
Catalogue Number: UTR055
Formats: 7” / DIGITAL

Track listing:
A. Tomorrow
B. The Fountain

* * * RELEASE DATE / SEPTEMBER 3RD * * *

Since 2008’s ‘Wave Like Home’ debut album on Upset The Rhythm, Future Islands have gone from strength to strength, writing two classic albums of romantic yet melancholic synthpop for Thrill Jockey as well as exhaustively touring Europe and America to frenzied devotion. This new 7” on Upset The Rhythm ‘Tomorrow’ / ‘The Fountain’ sees the band at the top of their game, releasing some of their most compelling and sophisticated songs yet, building on the aching themes and poignant focus of their last album ‘On The Water’.

‘Tomorrow’ is a soulful swoon, its light tread is mesmerising amongst the slow burning synth cycles and relaxed bass progress. Samuel T. Herring’s ever-impressive vocal has never sounded more akin to Sam Cooke as he smoothly laments “I’m saying sorry every time we talk” before careening into a flight of sustained, arguably uncontrollable emotion. Some choice, additional vocals from Jenn Wasner (of Wye Oak), Lexie Mountain and Elena Johnston only make the song seem more impassioned; its ardent nature perfectly rendered into melody.

‘The Fountain’ meanwhile is a luscious narrative sunk into a slow dance. It’s a song that tells a tale of courtship, heady rush and leaps of faith. It’s a beautifully descriptive lyric, full of “shady groves”, “hanging gardens” and “human loam”, nodding a head to both Genet and Rilke as it passes. “I know my lines, and there’s a lot less space and a little bit of time… I know the way – It’s fine” sings Herring tenderly. Gerrit Welmers keyboard work here is stunning, the blooming chords and fluted air soaring across a landscape of crushed cymbals and quivering ambience, peaking with William Cashion’s deeply expressive, echoing bass ascent.

‘Tomorrow’ / ‘The Fountain’ was recorded and produced with long-term collaborator Chester Endersby Gwazda and mastered by Sarah Register (Talk Normal). Tyler Weeks provides the liminal, colourscape cover and the vinyl is heavyweight, white and limited to 1000 copies worldwide.

Future Islands - 'Tomorrow'

there's always one who goes
and someone who remains
to lift the heavy loads
of memory and pain

and winter turns to spring
while summer fades away
i think it must be harder
for those who have to stay

but I don't blame you
for moving on 
go and be happy
even though I'm not around 

some will cross that bridge
and some will brave the sea
to find something worth keeping
that's hidden in the deep

there's so much more to come
so take comfort in your dreams
and nobody knows what's ahead
but I wish you peace 

but I don't blame you
for moving on 
go and be happy
even though I'm not around 

i don't blame you
cause life goes on
just be happy
that's all I could ever want
