Future Islands - "Balance"
I love this: Sam Herring's husky and powerful voice in the driver's seat, supported by those lovely layers of synths and that bass. The lyrics are calm, and in a way reassuring: "and the sun will leave your room / and leave you to the night / and that's alright / because before the morning comes / there's a certain calm / and then there's light"
Who wouldn't want to be on that trip with that beautiful couple?
Check out Little Dreamer and Tin Man for some more of that Sam Cooke-or-even-Desmond-Dekker-flavoured voice.
