The EP includes a high-energy house version of 'City’s Face' by legendary house and techno producer Carl Cox, an ethereal version of 'Born In A War' by experimentalist and violinist Sudan Archives, and a slowed down, moody remix of 'Waking' by underground hip-hop producer Controller 7.  The EP lands ahead of Future Islands hitting the road for the first time in two full years, the longest the group has gone without in their 14-year career.  The extensive US tour kicks off 8/31 in Anaheim, CA. Tickets available here.

ALAYA Remixes 3 is preceded by ALAYA Remixes 2, which featured 'Thrill' by synth-pop songwriter and producer Washed Out, a house-beat rendition of 'Thrill' by San Francisco electronic artist COMPUTER DATA, and a remix of 'Hit The Coast' by Smallboy.  ALAYA Remixes 1 featured 'Thrill (Did They Hear Me Calling)' by legendary LA dance producer Egyptian Lover, 'Plastic Beach' by Moss of Aura (Gerrit Welmers’ solo project), and 'The Painter' by Alle Alle.

Released in October 2020, As Long As You Are looks is an album about trust, full of honesty, redemption and “letting go”, allowing old wounds to heal and bringing painful chapters to a close. Signalling a new era for Future Islands, drummer Mike Lowry joined as a fully-fledged member and songwriter bolstering the founding trio of William Cashion, Samuel T. Herring and Gerrit Welmers. Together, the four-piece took on official production duties for the first time, co-producing As Long As You Are with engineer Steve Wright at his Wrightway Studios in Baltimore. Their brand of new wave synth-pop full of bright melodies and heavenly choruses is as euphoric and uninhibitedly joyful as anything the band has done in their 14-year career.
