DiS trundled down to Hoxton on Tuesday to catch Canadian pop-oddballs Islands on their DiS-sponsored tour of these isles. Here, we have some yummy snaps. Yummy.
Islands’ second album Arm’s Way, the follow-up to 2006’s acclaimed Return To The Sea debut, is released via Rough Trade on May 19 (more news here). Tracklisting:
‘The Arm’ ‘Pieces of You’ ‘J'aime Vous Voire Quitter’ ‘Abominable Snow’ ‘Creeper’ ‘Kids Don't Know Shit’ ‘Life In Jail’ ‘In the Rushes’ ‘We Swim’ ‘To a Bond’ ‘I Feel Evil Creeping In’ ‘Vertigo (If It's a Crime)’
‘The Arm’ can be heard now at the band’s MySpace page, here.
