When Art Lord & the Self Portraits disbanded in late 2005, its members had forgotten having discussed with the band Texas Governor about the possibility of touring together. [1] Future Islands was formed in early 2006 to keep that commitment, so the band had to come up with a new name quickly. [2] Narrowing it down to two choices: Future Shoes and Already Islands, the names were then combined into Already Shoes and Future Islands. [3] [4] [5] According to the band, the name Future Islands is meant to be vague. [6] On a radio interview given in late 2015, Samuel Herring explained: Wapunguissa ( talk) 16:37, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
We'd just started this band as right just before played our first show, and kind of the idea at that point was realizing - you know, we were all still 20-21 years old - that there might be a time, even if we were such good friends for many years, there would be a time when we wouldn't be together. Maybe we wouldn't be in the same city, maybe we wouldn't have a band together. And the idea that - of us being people who - we have our own group of friends now, the way we move away from friends that maybe you went to high school with, and find a new group of friends in University and then maybe someone has a job and moves away, or somebody starts a family and we all kind of become of islands on our own. So in that emotional sense that's kind of I what was thinking early, early on.

Following the discussing on "Origins" and having developed the "Art Lord & the Self-Portrait" section of the article, I did the following changes:
