From shopping cart shennanigans to cemeteries at sunset to secret secluded watering holes, these love-struck teens show us up big time in the romanticism department. When we think back on the kinds of dates we went on as kids…well, we won't go there. But let's just say they were a hell of a lot less twee.

Future Islands is gearing up for the release of their upcoming third album, On the Water, on Thrill Jockey Records. Snag it when it drops on October 11th, and don't miss Future Islands on tour this fall.
