Future Islands

After Teeth Mountain on 5th June came Future Islands. The venue was already teeming with anticipation of the main act, but Future Islands, a mere three piece, caught the attention of the audience. I was particularly fascinated by the lead singer's gestures and, under normal circumstances, derided signing and singing. So the gentleman of Future Islands was like an actor who puts his heart and soul into each and every line, painful to see, mainly because exaggerated. Strangely enough, my heart sank, forgetting all my bitterness, I let myself follow his jerky movements and amazing voice without questioning the obvious pathos of such a bit too heartfelt performance.
