HAM 011LP
|
Islet is limited to 250 copies and comes housed in a handsome spot-glossed sleeve with download code. Each member also plays with bands and artists such as Yoko Ono, Xiu Xiu, Thurston Moore, Balún, and Tyondai Braton, but by joining forces they create rich musical arrangements that are both highly original and, crucially, highly accessible. The concept for this, their debut album is derived in part from the sci-fi and cyberpunk elements of Blade Runner, the haunting and mysterious elements of Twin Peaks, and the surreal tropical vibe of Fantasy Island. It touches on themes of solitude, escapism, and cultural curiosity while drifting between intimate lyrical moments and dreamy ambient sound textures.
