Manchester's MELODIC label goes from strength to strength and this debut album by THE ISLES looks set to be by far the label's biggest album to date.
There is a real buzz on these twenty-something New Yorkers who have successfully distilled in their debut album everything that was good about MORRISSEY, IAN CURTIS and IAN MCCULLOCH into a thoroughly modern package.
The Isles either have the capacity to bend time and space or appear to have been born in the wrong time and place. Because although their sound is very definitely in the now, it's almost as if they began writing whilst surrounded by the cream of British 80s 'miserablist' indie-pop.
Limited edition yellow vinyl - 500 only.
THE GUARDIAN 4.5/5 ... NME 8/10 "Loved-up like a new age Mozzer, New Yorkers have never sounded as English as they do on this"... ALTERNATIVE ULSTER "With 'Perfumed Lands' they've landed a sublime, hand in glove, knock out"... LOSINGTODAY.COM "Take yourself and a loved one, find yourself a tree, a nice cool drink, settle yourselves down in the company of New York's old English sound. Pop perfection guarantee"
