Good stuff. I'd say he has been listening to Cass McCombs.

I think it's a good direction... Islands, coming back to earth a little - and they're doing it with grace. This is lovely.

You'd complete me if you would release this song in early autumn.

Tag. You're myISH.

i'm confusing myself trying to sing along to a song that's not a song.

[gooddayreztips]

i would say that i'm listening to a great song, but, then again, this is not a song.

(i feel the urge to make a bad "in soviet russia" joke where "you don't listen to the song, the song listens to you") yeah, i just confused myself.

this sounds exactly like Slow Dancing In A Burning Room by John Mayer :|

Some people have complained about Islands' "new" sound, but I have to say that I my favorite musicians are the ones brave enough to experiment with different styles/sounds. Many musicians are content with being derivative and unadventurous, but Nick T. has never been such. I respect him and his music.

Plus, I like the feel of this new record....and just it came just in time for V-day.

love the new islands.

sounds like they ripped the melody from 'say it ain't so'
