Islands – Arm’s Way

It’s been some time since the last Islands record, but I did not think they would come back with something as commercially ready as their latest album Arm’s Way. Every song is beautifully crafted, lush with harmonies, strings and vintage guitar sounds that would made any audiphile snicker (but secretely like it). I’m pretty upset by the lack of steel drums, actually. After their first album, Return To The Sea, I went to the local Guitar Center, bought a steel drum and spent $10,000 on lessons thinking it was the next big thing. I was wrong. I just returned it for a guitar. Whatever. This is a perfect Summer record. Just buy it. Oh and buy Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys.
