After the breakout success of 2014′s Singles, synth rockers Future Islands has announced a new album called The Far Field due out out April 7 via 4AD. Although another theatrical (is that Marlon Brando?) Letterman performance would be fitting, the band seems to now have a solid footing with or without late night television. Find the tracklisting and cover art below, along with the first single from the album, “Ran.” The Far Field features Blondie’s Debbie Harry , who makes a guest appearance on “Shadows.”
The Baltimore based trio began writing the album last January, and later in the year, performed the songs at a series of secret shows under fake names. They recorded the album with producer John Congleton (Sleater-Kinney, David Byrne, St. Vincent, Cloud Nothings) in Los Angeles at Sunset Sound.
