About This Item
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. Album Tracks 1. Charm Offensive 2. Pumpkin 3.
