Released on October 11, 2011, On the Water was Future Islands' 3rd album. Produced by Chester Endersby Gwazda, it was recorded in Elizabeth City, NC’s historic waterfront on the Pasquotank River. The band spent 10 days at the Andrew S. Sanders House, the family house of their college friend Abe Sanders. They wrote the half the album there and then recorded it, from late May to early June 2011. The album opens and closes with field recordings of water sounds. On the album’s title, the band explained: The very first song that was written for the album was On The Water.

Herring and Future Islands succeed on their latest release - On the Water, out Oct. 11 - which trades (most of) the band's dance-floor catharsis for heart-tugging slow-burners. If you're worried that the loss of beats per minute hinders what has made the band memorable live and in the recording studio, don't fret. The group has the ability to make affecting music by using less - for an example, see the title track, which opens the record. Billed as a concept album about "two parallel journeys - one physical and one psychological," the album has an ebb and flow, much like the ocean near which it was recorded in North Carolina. Yet On The Water doesn't have a straight narrative throughout. Herring leaves enough clues for listeners to get an idea of what has happened to the narrator, but enough space to insert a bit of themselves into the song.
