Order Future Islands' new album As Long As You are on Petrol Blue Vinyl LP from Recordstore for the chance to win an Exclusive Vinyl Test Pressing. All orders before 23.59PM BST Thursday 8th October 2020 will be entered into the competition.

The Baltimore group will release As Long As You Are, their sixth studio record, on October 9 via 4AD.

As Long As You Are looks to the past as well as the future, confronting old ghosts and embracing a new hope. It is an album about trust, full of honesty, redemption and “letting go”, allowing old wounds to heal and bringing painful chapters to a close.

As Long As You Are also signals a new era for Future Islands. Drummer Mike Lowry officially joins as a fully-fledged member and songwriter bolstering the founding trio of William Cashion, Samuel T. Herring and Gerrit Welmers. Together, the four-piece took on official production duties for the first time, co-producing As Long As You Are with engineer Steve Wright at his Wrightway Studios in Baltimore. Their brand of new wave synth-pop full of bright melodies and heavenly choruses is as euphoric and uninhibitedly joyful as anything the band has done in their 14-year career.
