They've released three albums - Return To The Sea (2006), Arm's Way (2008), Vapours (2009) and on February 14, 2012 they are going to release their fourth album A Sleep & A Forgetting.
The current members of the band are Evan and Geordie Gordon, Aaron Harris and Nicholas "Nick" Thorburn (also known as Nick Diamonds).
About the album the basis are themes related with pain and heartbreak and Nick Diamonds said "This album is far more personal than any I’ve made before,” adding “I left New York after the end of a relationship and came to Los Angeles. There was a piano where I was staying and that’s where I wrote these songs. This record deals with loss, with memory and forgetting and with dreaming. I started writing it on Valentine’s Day and it’s coming out on Valentine’s Day.”
The process was inspired by such different artists like The Temptations, June Tabor or Roy Orbison.
For the band's new album it's expected a very "sonic textures and irresistible melodies that have come to define Islands"
The album was announced through the Anti-records blog here.
The first song taken from A Sleep & A Forgetting is This Is Not A Song.
"In upper atmosphere my head comes loose,
And in the free fall I can feel the blues,
I hate to watch you go, oh,
Nick, if you ever learn, it never shows,
If this is just a song,
Then why do I find it so hard to move on,
Feels a crime to be crying for this long."
