Islands

Blending experimental landscapes with massive hooks out of the New Order playbook, well-pedigreed collective Islands found a space in the crowded early 21st Century quirky indie pop scene. After the breakup of experimental lo-fi indie rock band the Unicorns, members Nicholas Thorburn (aka Nick Diamonds ) and Jaime Thompson (aka J'aime Tambeur) formed Islands, which found the two more focused on brighter production and neo-psychedelic indie pop. Since forming in early 2005, the Canadian band has also featured a fluctuating lineup of contributors on a wide variety of instruments, both in concert and on record.
