The song finds Future Islands' frontman Samuel T. Herring in a typically cryptic mood, singing: "I met the King of Sweden/When I was walking in the headlights/Drowning in a bender/Frozen at a red light."

Next month Future Islands tour the U.K., their first performances in the country since 2018. They will then return to North America in May for a run of shows that includes two nights at Brooklyn Steel in New York City.
