Clearly the 2nd best album this year.
David Letterman - Future Islands: "Seasons (Waiting On You)" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ee4bfu_t3c#ws)
I still cant decide if this is the best or worst late night performance I've ever seen. I caught it randomly the other night, not knowing who Future Islands were. At first I thought it was the most ridiculous thing Ive ever seen, but I couldn't look away. By the end, I was fully into it haha. What is this death metal growl he gets going randomly?! I'm interested and will definitely check out the album
The album is great...all of their albums are kick ass and if you are undecided this should put you over the edge

I've been watching that Letterman video over and over. Their album is streaming on NPR.
