{"product_id":"future-islands-from-a-hole-in-the-floor-to-a-fountain-of-youth","title":"Future Islands - From a Hole in the Floor to a Fountain of Youth (4AD)","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOver the past twenty years, Future Islands have travelled a rare arc, from promising newcomers to best-kept secret, from cult favourites to heroes of the genre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAs they reach this remarkable milestone, they resist the obvious move. Instead of a ‘best-of’ compilation victory lap, Future Islands present ‘From a Hole in the Floor to a Fountain of Youth’ - an immediate and accessible collection, half of which has never appeared on streaming services – comprising alternate hits, rarities, and fan favourites that showcase the band’s palette and bring further colour to their uniquely universal appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAs the title suggests, this double-LP traces the group’s journey from humble origins toward ever-widening horizons. Twenty songs for twenty years, four members of the band, four sides of vinyl. Future Islands have always been more than a viral moment; their career contains extraordinary depth and nuance, often overshadowed by louder peaks. These songs reveal a band comfortable with subtlety, grace, and emotional endurance - and they have never sounded more eternal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe songs were first gathered into a playlist by bass lynchpin William Cashion, who also chose the title - “I’ve always loved the imagery of that lyric,” he makes clear, “the hole in the floor is the everyday, but the fountain is the magic that happens when the life you dreamed about actually becomes the one you’re living. It’s the dream and the reality existing in the same room.” A well-known Tennessee Williams quote talks of this kind of duration - “time is the longest distance between two places.” It is time that really separates the floor from the fountain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eYes, Future Islands can wow and dazzle, but this release is about something else, something understated and more profound. “This is for everyone who has carried these songs with them, from the first house parties to the rooms we’re playing today,” explains Cashion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracklisting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Ink Well\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003ePinnochio\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHappiness of Being Twice\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn the Fall\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAwake and Dreaming\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eVirgo Distracts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eFind Love\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCotton Flower\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Fountain\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTomorrow\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eOne Day\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe Chase\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eCalliope\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSix Weeks\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHaunted By You\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSail\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eAs Long As You Are\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eDays\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRager\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eGlimpse\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca name=\"OLE_LINK1\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca name=\"OLE_LINK2\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eVersion: Black Vinyl LP \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eReleased: \u003csup\u003e \u003c\/sup\u003e22\u003csup\u003end\u003c\/sup\u003e May 2026\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eBar Code Catalogue Number: 4AD0907LP   0191400090712\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition: New Sealed\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sunflower Records","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl LP","offer_id":57980866232645,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0943\/8268\/6533\/files\/futureislandsfromaholeinthefloortoafountainofyouth.jpg?v=1778937966","url":"https:\/\/sunflowerrecords.co.uk\/products\/future-islands-from-a-hole-in-the-floor-to-a-fountain-of-youth","provider":"Sunflower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
