Our Take

Ah, ISLANDS, the Canadian indie rockers that are as mysterious and elusive as a dolphin with three legs. Their latest album "And That's Why Dolphins Lost Their Legs" is a wild ride through a musical ocean of influences, with waves of psychedelic rock, indie pop, and post-punk crashing against each other in a whirlwind of sound.

At first listen, you might be wondering if you accidentally stumbled into a music festival where every band is playing at the same time. But fear not, dear listener, for ISLANDS are adept at navigating the choppy waters of genre-blurring experimentation. From the funky basslines of "Lost at Sea" to the dreamy synths of "Underwater Love Affair," each track is a treasure waiting to be discovered.

Lead singer Nick Thorburn's haunting vocals float above the swirling instrumentation like a beacon in the night, guiding us through the strange and wonderful world of ISLANDS. And just when you think you've figured them out, they throw in a curveball like the unexpected brass section in "Mermaids and Unicorns."

In the end, "And That's Why Dolphins Lost Their Legs" is a fascinating journey into the depths of ISLANDS' imagination. So dive in, dear listener, and let the music wash over you like a tidal wave of sonic bliss. Just remember, don't lose your legs in the process.
