The third album from Baltimore synth pop romanticists Future Islands was one of 2011's best moments, and represented yet another change of tact from the band in question. We'd only just got over In Evening Air, the preceding record which felt like being trapped in your mind's eye as it descended into heartbroken madness following a sudden breakup (it remains, after all, one of the finest breakup albums of all time).
With that in mind, On The Water was the redemptive "everything might be OK there are plenty of fish in the sea we just need to embrace life" shot to the head everyone deserves once they've done with their wallowing. Which isn't to say things feel resolutely positive here, more that the tracks no longer feel confined, but instead free to run through wide open spaces.
