Jul 17, 2015 Future Islands By Christopher Roberts

Future Islands’ Samuel T. Herring is no stranger to the hip-hop game and has performed before under his rapper name Hemlock Ernst. But now he’s taken it a step further and teamed up with Madlib as Trouble Knows Me. The duo will be releasing a self-titled 12-inch EP on September 1 via Madlib Invasion and have shared the EP’s title track, which you can stream below.

The EP has three vocal tracks as well as beats and instrumentals. Side B is an entirely instrumental version of Side A. The tracklist is below. You can preorder the 12-inch here for a somewhat pricey $25.00.
