Future Islands - “A Song For Our Grandfathers” (Official Video)

The early weeks of summer always feel nostalgic, and before it gets way too hot to enjoy being outside, there’s nothing more enjoyable than chilling in a backyard with a grill and a keg and close company. Future Islands’ “A Song For Our Grandfathers” dropped on 2014’s Singles, and the new video features the band performing in an idyllic country backyard for a family reunion. This is a song about finding solace in familial ties when life gets messy, even when important members have long since passed, and the Jay Buim-directed video is a poignant accompaniment just in time for Father’s Day.
