Islet - Released by the Movement

Review by Jack Doherty

Released by the Movement proves once and for all that Islet need to ditch this façade of normality and just go bat-shit crazy.»

Buy now from:

The fearless Welsh band release their new album, 'Released By The Movement' on band member Mark Daman Thomas's own Shape Records. This is an ambitiously explorative work, an intense and immersive follow up to last year's widely celebrated debut LP 'Illuminated People'. Opener 'Triangulation Station' is freaked-out psychedelic circus soundtrack for the ages, with vocals thrown back and forth between Mark and Emma Daman Thomas, bowled along by tricksy drum parts and twisted tangles of rhythm and melody. It's an opening burst of brightness that bears witness to the unbridled joy of their explosive live shows.
