fang island describes its sound as 'everyone high-fiving everyone.' and, the brooklyn quintet's anthemic and soaring songs make it quite possibly one of few bands befitting such description. its finger-tapping guitar lines, chanted vocals, triumphant harmonies and overall perky songs hearken to the sort of 'total music' of the fucking champs, jay reatard, ponytail, kraftwerk, marnie stern, thin lizzy, et al. but, perhaps more so, its songs are like the music in your head at that moment when everything feels just right: that first kiss, that high score on the video game, buying your first small nation in cash... you know, good stuff.
