Fang Island has been one of my favorite new bands for the majority of this year. A band that describes their sound as "everyone high-fiveing everyone", their mostly instrumental tunes are devoid of traditional verses and choruses and instead feature three battling lead guitars that weave all over manic drumming. The energy in this music is so deeply rooted it makes me want to shout along with every deconstructed vocal line. The album starts with firecrackers for God sakes! It's the busiest album I've ever heard that doesn't sound the least bit cluttered. Incomparable with most other indie rock coming out these days, I look forward for more from Fang Island.
Here's a poorly mixed video of them playing on KEXP
