Islands' 2012 album A Sleep & A Forgetting continues the band'spenchant for crafting adventuresome and infectious state of the art pop music. But this time band leader Nick Thorburn has infused the songs with a personal introspection that gives the record a new and powerful emotional resonance. Recorded live with hardly a single overdub, tt's a strippeddown process and beautifully understated sound which onlyreinforces the confessional content of the lyrics.
