Future Islands came to prominence in 2014 with their fourth album Single. Its lead single ‘Seasons (Waiting on You)’ was considered best song of 2014 by Pitchfork, and NME . The band performed an iconic live session at The Late Show with David Letterman in March 2014 which became the most viewed performance on the show's youtube channel. Lead singer Sam Herring’s unique dance moves caught the internet's attention and very quickly a, meme was born.

Now in 2020 Future Islands are releasing their 6th album As Long As You Are. Charlotte talked with the band about their upcoming album and their iconic Letterman performance.
