Amongst the many shows we played that year, one that will always remain close to our hearts was our appearance on ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ where we debuted ‘King Of Sweden’. The energy in The Ed Sullivan Theatre was electric. This was one for the books!
#FutureIslands20
From a Hole in the Floor to a Fountain of Youth.
Collected songs from the first twenty years. Out May 22. Pre-order now via the link in bio.
A collection of rare and long-hidden recordings, tracing our journey from house shows and small rooms to the world this music opened up for us. These songs have lived quietly in the background over the years—shared between fans and held onto by us—a kind of secret history.
From the everyday to the dream, this record captures the moments in between: the slow burners, the overlooked pieces, and the paths that shaped who we became as a band.
The first two singles, “Sail” (written and recorded during the As Long As You Are sessions, and released on a limited tour-only 7” in 2025) and “Find Love” (originally released in 2011 as the B-side to “Before the Bridge”), are out now—two songs from different moments in this story. Listen wherever you stream music.

We’ve been digging through the archives and found some photos from when we were recording “Pinnochio” and “The Happiness of Being Twice” in Oakland, CA, during our first full U.S. tour. Both songs appear on our upcoming collection From a Hole in the Floor to a Fountain of Youth.

“One Day” is one of those songs that’s been with us for a long time — something people have asked for live, and something we’ve been meaning to share more widely. Glad it’s finally here. Listen now.
