Baltimore synth-pop outfit Future Islands recently released their excellent Singles album and proved that they're so much more than that band who went crazy on Letterman. Then, last night, they played Jimmy Kimmel Live!
There were no shortage of antics as the band performed album tracks "Doves" and "Spirit" — frontman William Cashion was his usual over-the-top self, writhing around onstage and offering intense vocal delivery. That said, it all looked strangely natural rather than contrived.
