Future Islands are releasing a new album, The Far Field, on April 7 via 4AD. Previously the band shared its first single “Ran” and performed the song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Now the band has shared a video for “Ran.” Albert Birney directed the clip, which fittingly features frontman Samuel T. Herring doing a lot of running in the Maryland countryside. Watch it below, followed by the band’s upcoming tour dates.

The Far Field is the follow-up to the Baltimore-based trio’s acclaimed 2014-released breakthrough album Singles. Herring (vocals, lyrics), William Cashion (bass, guitars), and Gerrit Welmers (keyboards, programming) wrote the album in North Carolina and Baltimore. John Congleton produced the album at the Sunset Sound studios in Los Angeles. Blondie’s Debbie Harry guests on the album, singing a duet with Herring, “Shadows.” Patrick McMinn contributed string arrangements and this is the first Future Islands record to feature live drums by Michael Lowry. The album will be released “digitally, on 180gm white and standard black LP, CD, cassette formats, and as a unique, first-of-its-kind miniature LP.”
