Listen to Future Islands’ groove-led new single ‘King Of Sweden’

The Baltimore band are heading out on their first UK tour in four years next month

Future Islands have returned today (February 16) with a brand new track – listen to the groove-led ‘King Of Sweden’ below.

The new song follows the standalone track ‘Peach’, which the band released last summer and was their first original track since their sixth album, ‘As Long As You Are’, came out in 2020.

It’s not clear yet whether ‘King Of Sweden’ and ‘Peach’ are tasters of the band’s seventh studio album, which they confirmed in 2021 they had already started work on.

Reviewing Future Islands’ new album ‘As Long As You Are’NME wrote: “‘As Long As You Are’ maybe an unexpected handbrake turn for Future Islands and it may not be as hit-laden as its predecessor, but it’s a refreshing record in its own right and one that throws up plenty of existential quandaries.”
