Islands - Arm's Way (2008)


Islands é um sexteto da parte francesa do Canadá."Arm's Way" é uma obra de indie-rock dançante e coesa, atributo raro à lançamentos. A proposta do grupo é adequar alguns instrumentos eruditos, como violinos, à dinâmica da música pop, com foco no indie.

"Islands' new obsession with darkness does, however, make sense. The throughline between all of Thorburn's records (with Islands and the Unicorns) is a lyrical obsession with death in all of its forms-- from the corporal (bones) to the metaphysical (ghosts)-- so it was only a matter of time until his band tried to match its outward sound to the inner themes. Gone are the guest rappers, the acoustic nuevo-country twang, and the sunny Afro-Caribbean flourishes (though there are still a few brief flashes of them, as on chugging rocker "J'aime Vous Voire Quitter", which, two minutes in, implodes into a Bahamian "La Bamba" breakdown). In their place are theatrical string arrangements, layers of silvery, minor-key guitars, and lots of gothy synthesizers."
