Future Islands, a.k.a. America’s number one dreamboats, go on dreamy summer tour

·

Out in the distance, there’s a group of islands. These islands, everyone wants to go. These islands, they are the Future Islands. Oh, you can go to them! You can go to them like you can go anywhere. Except there’s only one way to get to the Future Islands: dreamboat. Try to get there in a regular boat, dead in a second. Now, a dreamboat, it’s a lot like a regular boat. Only real difference is it’s made out of dreams. Unicorns, fields of heather, your mom kissing your uncle but your uncle is also a bee, stuff like that. Hard to find a dreamboat these days, but, oh boy, it’ll be worth it. Those Future Islands, well, they’re dreamy. They make the dreamboat look like a gross reality boat. Every young man, every young woman, they all need to visit the Future Islands.

Of course, not everyone can get in that dreamboat. I don’t blame you. Not everyone can have everything. Good news for you, Future Islands are going on tour. Like they say somewhere that doesn’t exist, why sail to the Future Islands when you can get the Future Islands to come to you for free? Well, I mean, the shows, they’re not for free. You’ve got to pay for them. Still, they are coming to you, assuming you live on the East Coast or West Coast or Europe. I don’t live in those places, so I’ll be off, constructing my dreamboat.
