ISLANDS / Ski Mask

Umjesto detaljne recenzije albuma napomena da uhvatite termine u kojima ga možete u cijelosti čuti, premijerno na našim streaming valovima,u utorak 13.08.2013. u 9.00h te u četvrtak 15.08.2013. u 18.00h.

Nedetaljno i navijački, Nick Thorburn ( ex Unicorns ) ponovo bode u samu srž indie pop lepršavog pjesmoklepstva i neopterećeno šara kroz 11 novih songova pokazujući puni raskoš talenta. Ne očekuje se nekakav bitan izlazak iz glazbene sjene i Islandsi će i dalje biti i ostati, nažalost,još jedan marginalan bendić, kako za mass medija tako i za površne hipstere. To je samo još jedan od razloga za proklamaciju ovog vrućeg materijala u album tjedna.

Sam Nick o novom materijalu misli i govori:

This record is really about being angry. For better or worse, this record kind of sums up my experience thus far with being in a band. I feel like we’re kind of at a crossroads and this record is kind of me just declaring forfeiture in some ways. Like the third act of a movie—just after it seems like all hope is lost, that’s when the big breakthrough moment happens. For Islands, this is us waiting for the breakthrough moment.”
“This record is kind of a culmination of all the different things we’ve done over the years. It’s basically a melting pot of all those sounds. So much of this record is about identity—specifically, the quest for finding out your own identity. … All of these feelings and ideas that have been bubbling up over the course of four previous albums finally came to the surface on this one. This record is like a summation of Islands, everything we’ve ever done distilled into one record. It’s basically an essential introduction to Islands—it’s everything we’ve ever been about.
