Release Notes:

In Evening Air is Future Islands' first release for Thrill Jockey and
their first album to be released as a slimmed down three-piece.

Opening with 'Walking Through That Door' In Evening Air is a
captivating listen from the off. It is an album with a beautiful
dream-like quality that manages to take disparate reference points and
brings them together beautifully.

The vocals alternate between gravelly Dylan ('Long Flight') and
statuesque Bowie ("Swept Aside"). And that isn't all - In Evening Air
is in turns ethereal (on the title track - think David Lynch and Twin
Peaks) and youthful and overwhelmed (reminiscent of Sofia Coppola on
the beautiful "Long Flight").

There are clear nods to on In Evening Air to post-punk, particularly
Joy Division and Echo and the Bunnymen, and the electronics and
emotional punch are pure New Wave. It's little surprise then that
Future Islands refer to their own sound as Post-Wave.

But In Evening Air is more than the sum of its parts though. Future
Islands sound urgent and insistent and, frankly, desperately delicate.
There is so much to soak in across this album's short length that it
already feels like an early high-water mark for the year.  Seek it out.
