Future Islands frontman Samuel T. Herring is multi-talented, indeed. He croons. He dances. And as the below videos prove, he also raps. (Via SPIN).

Herring's rap name is Hemlock Ernst. The first video is a VHS recording for a lo-fi rap series called Time Spent, posted seven months ago, in which Herring raps his life story (and also says that hip-hop was his first love). The others are various performance clips.

The new Future Islands album Singles is out March 25 on 4AD.
