islands : arm’s way
Islands’ new LP is scheduled for release May 20th. Drowned in Sound has a spot on review which basically says that the album kicks ass.
Arm’s Way then, is as fascinating as it is unsettling, as unexpected as it is ceaselessly rewarding. Brazen noise sits next to magnificent style while its lyrics seem tailor made for umpteen accurate (contrasting) interpretations. It is a towering, complex achievement and startling progression to boot.
