Description
Up for auction is my copy of Future Islands' LP "On the Water". This is an original first pressing of the album that was released in 2011. I am the only owner and I purchased the album when it came out and then put it in storage. The record and sleeve are both in EXCELLENT condition; I didn't see any damage to report. Let me know if you would like more photos or if you have questions.
"Though some of Herring's more temperate moments make me miss his snarling freakouts of yore, one of On the Water's most striking moments is decidedly minimal: "Tybee Island" pairs the sound of crashing waves with a warm synth tone, both of which overpower the presence of their frontman. For most people, Herring's hyper-theatrical vocals are the make-or-break point of Future Islands: He sings every line like Meat Loaf serenading Yorick's skull. It's an acquired taste for sure, one that's much easier to be unequivocally swept up in when you're watching him on stage (doing grand hand gestures, grinning like a maniac, and occasionally slapping himself across the face), but even on the record, Herring's signature affect communicates something about the operatic sadness of life's everyday banalities." -Pitchfork Music
Be sure to check out my other listings and follow me as I will be posting many more FUTURE ISLANDS records, specifically.
In addition, I will also be listing lots of INDIE ROCK, ALTERNATIVE, EXPERIMENTAL, ELECTRONIC music all on vinyl in the coming days. Happy bidding! I am not a professional seller, just a long-time collector who has decided to sell them all off.
**I will ship the item wrapped in bubble wrap in a cardboard LP mailer. Unless you specifically contact me to request otherwise, I will ship with the disc outside of the main jacket to protect the seams from damage in transit. I do not currently have access to a turntable, so I must visually grade my records. If you have any questions or would like to see more photos, reach out. I am not a professional seller, just a longtime collector who has decided to sell them all off.**
