Fang Island‘s new album has been described by band members themselves as “everyone high-fiving everyone.” Despite the fact that bands usually aren’t good at describing their own music (Tom Delonge repeatedly claiming his next AVA album would change the world comes to mind,) this is exactly what I’d liken the music to: a room of everyone just feeling good and handing out high-fives, pardon the pun. Arguably the first sleeper hit of the year, “Fang Island” takes everything right about The Postal Service and Japandroids and smashes it together into one; is that not a recipe for an awesome sandwich with a side of hipster? Pick it up here.
