Future Islands released a new single today (29 April), and last night they performed it on The Late Show With David Letterman.
As usual, frontman Samuel T. Herring is riled up and busting out his now-signature moves, and similarly to their infamous network debut, Letterman is effusive in his praise.
The new single (including B-side "Haunted By You") is out now on iTunes; you can buy a 7" copy on 30 June.
Check out the performance below.
