In Islands'  music video for "Hallways" , frontman Nick Thorburn leads a band of unfamiliar musicians: puppet skeletons. Though this newly acquired unit seems jarring to Thorburn at first, he eventually finds his groove among his talented, yet horrifying compatriots. Sure, he has to endure a "minor cosmetic alteration" to do so, but that's just the price of truly good rock and roll. Watch the video below. Islands' latest LP, A Sleep & A Forgetting , is out now via ANTI-.

In the video for Islands' jumpy, jittery quasi-pop song " Hallways ," frontman Nick Thorburn is surprised to find himself singing for a band of marionette skeletons, but he gradually gets into it. The skeleton puppet effects are just awesome, and there's a fun surprise ending that I'd rather not give away. Lex Halaby and Toben Seymour direct. Watch the clip at YouTube . (This is probably a good place to mention that we're having some problems with embedding YouTube videos at the moment, and we're working to get it fixed.) Islands' [...]

I once saw Islands perform at Slim's, so fans should consider the opportunity to see the band at one of two Hotel Utah shows on March 13th ( 7pm , 10:15pm ) something to jump on before both shows sold out. The group's new album, A Sleep & A Forgetting , came out on Tuesday. Related Posts: No Related Posts

It 'twas but a week ago when our very own Nancy enlightened us to her 2k8 soundtracked by Ladyhawke . Well, that Kiwi is back with a video for "Black, White & Blue" and finally fills us in on the reason behind the camera motif. Is she telling us that the photographer is filming "real life"? Is that why she's alone? Then, all of a sudden, Ms. Brown takes something interesting, because those filters making the video look eerily like an acid trip. It's a cool concept and brings us a little further inside the mind of [...]

Close up shots of a vast array of eyes, footage from 19602s sci-fi tv shows, strobe lights, various churning colour sequences and a nice bit of retro erotica; all vital components of the psychedelic music video and this one features them all. Follow up to debut track ' Avenue ', Californian soul pop duo Fantasy Island release the more upbeat, disco tempoed, Breaking a Heart , alongside a suitably psychotropic music video. The song itself presents a rather infectious, punchy beat underneath stabbing keys that spiral around the track. Add in the various [...]

New album A Sleep & A Forgetting is out February 14, 2012 on Anti Records.

Nick Thorburn is trying to trick you; this is totally a song, a pretty good song at that. Islands is the project of the aforementioned Nick Thorburn (Mister Heavenly, The Unicorns) and this song is coming from the forthcoming album A Sleep and A Forgetting , which is slated for a Valentine's Day release. The song is pretty slow and smooth with a nice dream-like quality about it. Thorburn's delivery fits perfectly with the sugary pop lyrics accompanied by a humming synth and building strings in the background. Expect this album on Anti- Records.

Despite only having released the first single off of their forthcoming album just the other day, Islands already have visuals for "This Is Not A Song."
