Our Take

Islands' latest album "What Occurs" is a delightful blend of whimsy and introspection, reminiscent of a drunken walk through a carnival. The Canadian indie rock band has crafted a collection of songs that feel both familiar and refreshingly new, like stumbling upon a hidden gem in a thrift store. From the opening track "Set the Sleep Clock" with its infectious guitar riffs and dreamy vocals, to the hauntingly beautiful "Tidal Wave" that washes over you like a wave crashing against the shore, Islands takes listeners on a musical journey that is equal parts playful and profound. Lead singer Nick Thorburn's vocals are at once haunting and soothing, like a siren's call luring you into the depths of the ocean. The instrumentation is equally captivating, with layers of synths, guitars, and percussions creating a lush sonic landscape that is both chaotic and cohesive. Tracks like "Fictional Fantasies" and "Sleeping Aida" showcase Islands' ability to seamlessly blend genres, pulling from elements of indie pop, electronic, and even a hint of psychedelic rock. The result is an album that feels like a breath of fresh air in a music industry saturated with predictability. Overall, "What Occurs" is a gem of an album that is sure to delight both longtime Islands fans and newcomers alike. So grab a cocktail, put on your dancing shoes, and let Islands whisk you away to a world where anything is possible. Cheers!
