New single from Islands: No You Don’t

Nick Diamonds’ polymorphous pop band, Islands, is back with their 3rd studio album, Vapours on September 22nd. The 2006 debut, Return to the Sea, found eccentric & mellifluous pop tunes performed with a cast of characters from Montreal’s thriving music scene (including members of Arcade Fire & Wolf Parade), helmed by Nick Diamonds & Jamie Thompson. Thompson departed amicably from the group shortly after the album was released, and 2007’s Arm’s Way found the band turning in a new direction towards lushly orchestrated, guitar-driven prog-rock. Thompson has returned to the band for Vapours, a record that flits back & forth between moody synthesizers & drum-machine-heavy beats, while remaining firmly rooted in the classic pop sensibilities & multitude of melodic hooks that Islands is known for.

Here’s the brand new single premiered yesterday by P4K.
