ISLET – Celebrate This Place
ISLET
‘Celebrate This Place’ mini-album
14th June
Shape (Turnstile)
12″, download
Islet are liquid, rotating between instruments, singing, howling.
Drum-duo breakdowns, splashes of guitar, searing organs. Playing music for the joy of the moment.
‘Celebrate This Place’ is a paean to possibility and the joy of sound
and being. It was recorded by the group themselves at home in a
Mid-Wales barn and a Cardiff bedroom.
This, their first record, crosses the danceable electro-wash of Gang
Gang Dance and the careful racket of no-wave, the dulcet harmonies of
Os Mutantes and the rhythmic noisiness of Can.
The group also make ‘ The Isness’, an ongoing visual project which
bridges the gap between zine and artist’s book.
‘Celebrate This Place’, the band’s first release, will be available on
limited 12″ vinyl and digitally from 14th June on Shape (Turnstile).
Those lucky enough to attend their much-praised, incredible live
performances from, and including, the Cardiff launch on 26th May will
be able to get their hands on the vinyl pre-release.
