Daring to go where few bands have gone before, Future Islands have done the unthinkable and covered ‘Last Christmas’, the classic festive song originally made famous by Wham!
Released today, the Baltimore group’s playful reworking retains the song’s charm and melody as Samuel T. Herring’s distinctive vocals adds potent emotional heft to George Michael’s bittersweet lyrics.
Future Islands headline Australian / New Zealand tour tickets will go on general sale Thursday, 3rd November at 10am local time. For more information and full tour details head to handsometours.com
