If Future Islands’ songs once seemed like invitations to witness scenes from someone else’slife, People Who Aren’t There Anymore presents the whole absorbing saga, transmuting hurt tohope in the triumph of this band’s career. Here is excitement, devastation, understanding, andthe dawn’s rays of redemption in 44 minutes—a record that, at last, commits the full rapture ofFuture Islands to tape.
From their start, Future Islands have been singular and instantly identifiable. Samuel T.Herring’s life-worn croons and cries backlit by Gerrit Welmers’ melodies and charged by therhythms of William Cashion and Michael Lowry. That premise hasn’t changed on People WhoAren’t There Anymore, but the people have. There’s a pain and a joy that’s in Herring’s voicethat’s only been rivaled by their legendary live performances, but never captured in their studioalbums, that feels like it’s been untethered for the first time.
Future Islands have played nearly 1,500 shows – shows that have bruised bodies, frayed vocalcords, provided escapes for audiences, and healed their messengers. People Who Aren’t ThereAnymore is a major work from a band at an inflection point: they’re discovering new ways toexperience the world, because the old ways weren’t working. That freedom has led to the mostfully realized, most transparently honest statement in their 17 years as a band.
