Hailing from Montreal, Islands is a 7 piece band founded by former Unicorns front man Nick Diamonds and drummer J'aime Tambeur. Probably Nick's most accessible work to date, this album picks up where the Unicorns left off and, without departing from their unique and peculiar appeal, takes things to new heights.

'The Arm' is a disembodied harbinger of death, from what I can gather, which turns the protagonists' partner into 'a lifeless carcass in a badass car crash.' It's the 'badass' that stops the line from being morbid, and that makes the rhyme. The use of 'badass' to defuse what was almost a truly gruesome image has been a signature Thorburn move since the Unicorns. Change up the hooks before they get old, interrupt sentiment with absurdity, cut a letter off the front end and make the cliches new. -paperthinwal   [ read more ]
