Today marks the release of Islands' new album, Vapours. Why do I introduce it with a more dramatic tone than most album reviews, you ask? Because this album is amazing! Vapours is certainly one of the best albums of the year, thanks to a perfect balance between eclecticism and standard rock/pop songwriting. Almost every song has a guitar, bass, and drums, but none are without some element from some other sound world. "Devout," for instance, features a drum track that belongs to some downtempo DJ, but after the first 30 seconds your ear will be pleasantly pondering the song's true genre. Even the most typical rock song, the title track "Vapours," brings in a prominant horn section for the bridge which alters the sound world despite flawless integration.Tonight, I'll play my favorite track "No You Don't" on PUR.
