About this product
Should I Remain Here, at Sea?, Islands' 7th, is, in many ways, a spiritual sequel to the debut album, 2006's Return to the Sea; a natural, raw record, stripped down to it's essentials, performed live off the floor. Reflecting on the decade that has elapsed, SIRHAS kicks off with a darkly funny tartness, tackling religion, race, addiction, and murderous fantasies, but by midpoint, the songs give way to a resigned and doleful melancholia, tackling heartache, numb disillusionment and emotional disorientation through the guise of stupid parrots, the Internet, sea turtles and perhaps the loneliest maritimer to ever sail the seas. It was recorded as spontaneously as could be, with some of the songs captured live in one take, vocals and all.

The Return of... [LP] As a young, university-trained musician looking to find his way in the tropical space, Pachy García (aka Pachyman) became obsessed with old Jamaican dub records like those from King Tubby and Scientist, determined to recreate the vibe in his own way. InchI started recording myself and trying to emulate those old school recordings,Inch Garcia says. The Return of Pachyman is entirely self-produced, featuring García on vocals, guitar, drum, bass, and keyboards.

Taste, Islands' 6th record, is a muscular, crystalline affair, with the majority of the music electronic, buoyed by drum machines, programming and arpeggiated vintage synths. The songs still flirt with Islands' bread and butter; evergreens such as ennui, remorse, and a general disenchantment with the modern world hover over the tracks, with lines like Inchwe got so thrown, we felt lost at homeInch and Inchsteal a little moment, lose it like you own itInch, to hammer home the point. The songs cut a wide swath, however, and also go in directions that Islands has never tackled, including police brutality and white male privilege.
