Future Islands - Seasons (Waiting On You) [synth pop]

Do you like slice-of-life music videos, particularly ones involving horses, pick-up trucks, leather boots, cowboy hats, and lassos? Well, you'll be thoroughly impressed with the video for Seasons (Waiting On You) by Future Islands. Only after watching it about a dozen times did I realize that the contrast between life and death (toddler thing and funeral, respectively) throughout the video. That only added to it. Also, now that I think about it, Future Islands might have a knack for slice-of-life-type music videos.

Anyway, this song definitely capture the spirit of Future Islands ... namely a steady stream of synth layers, a compelling bassline, and the unmistakable vocals of Gerrit Welmers, the electric guitar that picks up during the chorus is certainly another welcome component.

(I try to sing this sometimes but my voice clearly lacks the innate qualities that make Future Islands music great. Also, I might just lack enthusiasm.)
