Singles, the fourth album from Baltimore synth-pop trio Future Islands, came out on 4AD on March 24, 2014, and it's the record that pulled them out of cult status. Chris Coady produced, and the sound is warm and roomy: Gerrit Welmers's synths glow and pulse, William Cashion's bass lines push everything forward, and Samuel T. Herring sings like a lounge crooner with his heart falling out of his chest, all growl and wounded yearning.
"Seasons (Waiting on You)" was the one: NME, Pitchfork and Spin all named it the best track of 2014. The band's spot on the Late Show with David Letterman that March only fed the fire, becoming the most-watched video on the show's YouTube channel.
