Future Islands' lovelorn synth-pop has its origins in Baltimore, but the East Coast trio set their sights on America's heartland in the new video for \"Seasons (Waiting On You),\" the opening track from upcoming album Singles. The just-unveiled video once again pairs Future Islands with director Jay Buim, who previously helmed the band's \"Tin Man,\" \"Balance,\" and \"Grease\" clips. This time, Buim examines the idea of the modern cowboy, an archetype that takes part in rodeos, group prayer, and bar room games of pool, while still holding onto a certain kind of quiet, dignified romance that city slickers have let slip away. <\/p>\n
\"For us, sometimes, it's quite spellbinding how Jay can translate our sound into an image,\" Future Islands frontman Samuel T. Harring says in an official statement. \"'Season (Waiting On You)' is a song about love, letting go, learning from your mistakes and always feeling that pull yearning for a certain love, as time goes by and seasons change. It is simply a song about the human experience.\" <\/p>\n
