- The Baltimore-based synth-pop band Future Islands was first thrust into the national spotlight in 2014 after making their TV debut on The Late Show With David Letterman. The band’s unassuming frontman Samuel T. Herring danced ecstatically around the stage seething with emotion. The performance quickly went viral, making it one of Letterman’s most memorable live appearances of all time.
At the time of their big break, Future Islands had already released three albums and been touring relentlessly for nearly a decade. And while they would become one of the most prominent bands on the festival circuit for the next several years, Future Islands has always maintained a sense of unparalleled raw vulnerability on-stage-in part because of the deeply confessional nature of Sam’s songwriting and electric stage presence.
On today’s episode Leah Rose talks to Future Islands lead singer Samuel T. Herring about the band’s latest album, People Who Aren’t There Anymore. Samuel also describes the physical toll his energetic performance style has taken on his body over the years. And his long-held gripe with guitar-based music.

ABOUT BROKEN RECORD
For generations of music lovers, the liner notes on albums were a central part of the way music was heard. You bought an album and it came with an accompanying narrative: a digression, an aside, a backstory-maybe even an invented history. We intuitively understood that great music required not just listening but conversation between the artist and the audience and the audience and the rest of the world.
Broken Record is a podcast that restarts those conversations-in a world without liner notes-for a new audience of music lovers.
Broken Record is hosted by Justin Richmond with interviews by producer Rick Rubin, writer Malcolm Gladwell, and former New York Times editor Bruce Headlam.

I'm so proud of Sam. I love him so much.
They are the best energy live. Love love love 💗 them
Fan since the Far Field. Can I just say at this point that People Who Are Not There Anymore is a masterpiece. It's one of my favourite albums ever made.
Omg bless the algorithm, absolutely love them but sadly haven't been able to catch them live! Own their albums and hope to see them irl eventually!
I have seen many acts live and they are by far the best
I am so excited... I have tickets for them in Michigan next month!
This interview helped me feel more connected to Sam and the band as a human being first, artist/bard second. So proud of how much he has grown as a person and what he's overcome! I have panic disorder, ptsd and am going on 3 months clean for work as an alarm operator. It's hard being seen, perceived. I get it. A dream I have is using my retirement for a one person concert so I can see them play at least once. The lyrics are what drew me to the band and why I stay. That thread that connects us to them. Just a wholesomely delightful and authentic interview. Good job interviewer for making this a safe space! 🤌 I admire the respect the band has for each other in their "marriage". Suprised the ocean didn't come up in this as a reoccurring theme.
Been a fan since 8 because of my dad now im 20 its been a lifelomg journey with you guys i cant thank you enough
