Future Islands frontman Sam Herring doesn't need a special occasion to become one of our generation's most passionate and moving performers, but it certainly doesn't hurt.
In the new Jay Buim directed music video for "A Song For Our Grandfathers" the band is seen at an actual family reunion in their native North Carolina where they greet relatives, have a meal, and eventually performing the song during which Herring is immensely emotional. They are also seen in the cabin where they started writing their breakout album Singles which came out last year.
Just in time for Father's Day, Future Islands have made the video available to be sent as an e-card which you can send to your dad and, even more appropriately, your grandfathers, here.
