Islands is excited to reveal the details of their upcoming record, Ski
Mask, set for release on Sept. 17th on frontman and principle
songwriter Nick Thorburn's Manqué label. A record that is equal
parts beauty and venom, Ski Mask percolates with the kind of
polymorphous pop and hooky, left-of-center rock songs that have
long been the band's stock and trade. Arguably the most sonically
diverse album Islands has ever made (which is saying something), Ski
Mask plays out like Thorburn's personal frustrations writ large.
Songs like "Death Drive" "Nil" and "Of Corpse" balance beautiful
melodies against some of the darkest lyrical missives that Thorburn
has ever written.
Thorburn, along with a rotating cast of
bandmates, has been working under the moniker of Islands for
nearly a decade. Formed in 2005 after the dissolution of Thorburn's
previous (and much beloved) band The Unicorns, Islands quickly
established themselves as one of the most erudite and forwardthinking
pop bands to emerge from the Montreal rock scene. Over
the course of four albums - 2006's Return to the Sea (inspired by
South African high life music), 2008's Arm's Way (a study in
orchestral pop music and playful psych), 2009's Vapours (pulsing
electro pop), and 2012's A Sleep & A Forgetting (soulful
singer / songwriter fare)-Thorburn and co. showed off a remarkably
chameleonic ability to bend a variety of different musical styles to
their will. With Ski Mask, Islands has synthesized their diverse
musical tastes into one concise whole.
