So much whimsy.

And a repost here, for isolated glory.

Fang Island - “Asunder”

fangisland:

“The Brooklyn party-rock trio Fang Island are about to return with their new album Major, the follow-up to their self-titled 2010 breakout. And “Asunder,” the first track we’ve heard from the album, is a triumphant riff-rocker that sounds like a pure sugar-rush rendered in musical form.” - Stereogum

”..With an aim to create an effort of non-stop, mega-sized hooks, the band is certainly off to a proper start with the album’s first song, “Asunder”. It’s a majestic bit of prog rock, with grandiose guitars that dart up and down and anthemic vocals that swell with emotion without losing their Zen-like balance. - Consequence of Sound


“When Brooklyn-based party-starters Fang Island named their new album Major, we were fairly certain that it would offer hyper-caffeinated, unrepentantly sunny pump-up tracks. Those suspicions have now been confirmed by the arrival of the single “Asunder.” Much like the material from the band’s 2010 debut, “Asunder” is a surge of sugar-addled adrenaline that’s lead by climactic drums, overdriven guitar licks and repetitive, chant-like vocals.” - Exclaim!

“If you were worried that the gap between their debut album and their new album would lead to change in direction, fear not; this is the Fang Island we love. Listen to ‘Asunder’ and prepare to kick the living crap out of the air around you.’ - 405

NEW FANG ISLAND, everyone. A cause for celebration!

I’ll stop posting links and start posting songs again soon, but really—-this is an album worth listening to. Give it a shot. Also check out Young Man’s excellent “Enough,” from last year.

This stream gives you about 1% of the feeling of actually being at a fun. show, and it’s still pretty great.

The close to The Hood Internet’s just-dropped The Mixtape Volume 6. It’s a fantastic end to a very solid album.
