Yet Another Thrill Jockey Signing

The parade of Baltimore bands signing with Chicago's Thrill Jockey Records continues. According to the label,Future Islands will release a full-length CD, In Evening Air, next spring. If you're not familiar with the band's New Wave bounce, check out the above video for "The Happiness of Being Twice."

See if you can spot Dan Deacon in the clip. He's currently recovering from major back pain (acute sciatica) that caused him to curtail his U.S. tour. Maybe we'll see him around town a bit more, but get better, Dan.

In the meantime, Future Islands is releasing a 12" remix collaboration—"Post Office Wave Chapel," which features No Age and Beach House's Victoria Legrand—and playing Floristree on Nov 28th.

Speaking of Beach House... the band's Sub Pop debut, Teen Dream, is slated for a January 26th release.
