    Sam Herring is for real. A true music fan. You can see his passion and sincerity in his performance and interviews. Witnessed Future Islands performed in 2015 in Hyde Park and fell in love with the band.

    @loubest3935 8 лет назад +69

    If anyone is interested he raps under the moniker 'Hemlock Ernst'. He had a killer verse on "Protectors Of The Heat" by Open Mike Eagle, and he did a project with Madlib that I am yet to check out, but is probably great.

    I've always wanted to get into rap and hip-hop, but didn't really know where to start. I went through all of Sam's recommendations and loved nearly every artist. Gr8 gr8 gr8. Thanks for this, Amoeba!

  • @sandraleech4862
    @sandraleech4862 7 лет назад +8

    Forgot to say how hypnotic Future Islands sound is, and Sam has an intriguing voice which is not separate but at the same time dominates the mood. Absolutely unique stage performance which is so animalistic and exciting.

    I went to high school in CArmel from '96-'00 and bought all these albums when they dropped. I already like this dude but this just blows my mind. Im a little older than Samuel but I literally got all these its crazy. my faves. I use to chill with J Smoov at the Good Life Cafe in LA but loved Divine Styler and some of that east coast shit. Especially some of those old Bomb Records mixes and Eddile Ill and DL mixtapes with asheru and Percee P. Love this so much

    I appreciate Future Islands, I really like the band and what they're putting out there, but I'm a huge hip-hop fan and music collector, and Sam basically has the same hip-hop music taste as I do. I have all those albums he picked in this episode, except the Danny Brown stuff cuz I have those digitally, haven't gotten around to getting physical copies of those yet...But, man, luv his enthusiasm for music... Also, I was buying music the same way as a kid as he did, except I didn't eat lunch at all, I used that lunch-money to buy music and just went hungry til I got home and ate whatever was in the fridge lol

      Correct! That's a trip hop album by Derrick Daisey (known as

      hip hop album by Derrick Brown (known as Vitamin D in Seattle). Here is a
