Islands release first single from Vapours
“No You Don’t” by Islands
[audio:Islands - No You Don't.mp3]
Nick Diamond & company are set to follow up 2008’s Arm’s Way with their third studio album, Vapours. Due out in late September, the album marks the return of Jamie Thompson who had left the band following the release of their 2006 debut Return To The Sea. With Thompson back in the fold the new album presents another shift in sound (which can’t be considered unexpected given their track record to date) from the sprawling orchestration of Arm’s Way to more simplified use of drum looping and synthesizer. Here’s the first single from the new album, “No You Don’t.” The track is a promising sign that Vapours might make up for the missteps that plagued Arm’s Way. Here’s hoping anyways.
