Future Islands Singles

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[S]ometimes the lyrics are as uncanny as the voice; on 'A Song for Our Grandfathers,' he calls on spiritual guidance from Nietzsche and his grandparents, and he makes it sound like goth-soul poetry."
"From a sandpaper whisper to a soaring ache on 'Light House' and a surprise death-metal howl on 'Fall From Grace,' there's something compelling and unexpected in each song."
Paste (magazine) - "Future Islands' live presentation is all about going for it, flailing without self-consciousness, dancing without worry, being fully in the moment....No one sounds like Future Islands, nor have they for several albums."
Pitchfork (Website) - "SINGLES is a great balance of pop and melodrama. It's built around the sturdy new wave beat, almost always four on the floor, giving Herring a comfortable frame in which to sing."
