Our Album of The Week is the seventh album from Future Islands, People Who Aren’t There Anymore. Written and recorded between 2020 and 2023, it’s a breakup album. Each track chronicles the dissolution of heart-on-his sleeve frontman Sam Herring’s long-distance relationship during the COVID-19 lockdown. On People Who Aren’t There Anymore the Baltimore band refines their new-wave aesthetic. Sam Herring’s unparalleled vocals provide dark musings disguised as Pop songs. Future Islands’ People Who Aren’t There Anymore is The Current’s Album of The Week.
