Music of the Day: Islands - Boll Weevil

On June 21st, Islands will release their new album. What Occurs, the tenth album in the project’s 18-year history, marks a significant shift, stripping away the detailed ornamentation from previous outings for something much more immediate, raw and natural.With an intent to capture the raw spontaneity from a band that has played together for a decade, Thorburn and co. recorded the songs live in the room, all together, with guitar amps and vocal mics bleeding into one another on multiple occasions.
