UK’s ISLAND have just dropped their debut album Feels Like Air today via Frenchkiss Records. Their captivatingly intense shows have already built the band’s reputation as one of London’s most exciting bands. Previously shared singles, “Horizon“,”Try,” “The Day I Die,” and “Ride” have reached an incredible combined total of over 4 million Spotify streams, and over 600K monthly listeners. In keeping to their DIY approach to making music, Feels Like Air was written and produced entirely by the band and includes all new music. Drawing on influences from their shared love of artists like Fleetwood Mac, Kings of Leon, War On Drugs and Grizzly Bear, their debut offering, with its hook-filled anthemic choruses and inventive drumming, is a body of work two years in the making.
ISLAND have confirmed a North American tour with dates that kick off in Vancouver, BC at Cabaret and conclude at Brooklyn’s Baby’s All Right. Along the way the band’s tour includes stops in Los Angeles, Chicago, Austin,
and Washington, DC. This tour is in addition to a April/May tour ISLAND have in the UK and Europe. All dates are listed below.
