User Album Review
The Far Field, Future Island’s Singles follow-up and fifth LP overall, is every bit as catchy as its predecessor, but it also shows more depth and variety. The songs on Singles are all individually boffo, coming across—as the title declares—like 10 potential chart hits. The Far Field is more of a start-to-finish experience, the 12 tracks building on each other to generate a larger feeling of grandeur. It lays back a bit, letting bassist-guitarist William Cashion and keyboardist Gerrit Welmers weave softer, more intricate textures beneath drummer Michael Lowry’s steady beat and Herring’s throaty yelps.
Singles was designed to amp up the pop hooks and reach people wherever they may be, logistically and emotionally. Having conquered that challenge, The Far Field attempts to hit some of those same notes but with more nuance and more old-fashioned studio polish. Recorded at Sunset Sound with producer John Congleton (and aided by Patrick McMinn for the occasional strings and horns), the album is filled with songs like “Cave,” where the carefully fussed-over music provides a strong, machine-boosted pulse, while Herring brings the untamed heart. The raw passion of Future Island’s past work still dominates, but with more complexity in the arrangements, and more push and pull in the ongoing dialogue between the voice and the instruments behind it. ---- avclub.com
