Countless bands are guilty of hurling every recording into cyberspace; in a hope that someone will listen. But such a maelstrom of material can lead to audio overload for even the most devoted music fan. So when the rumblings began about a great band from Cardiff called Islet it came as quite a surprise to find their web presence was next to nothing.
An absence of tweets about what they were having for dinner or photos of them trying to look moody on MySpace generated more mystique and interest than the rest of the faces in the crowd. How can you be cool if you try too hard?
With their debut mini-album Celebrate This Place due for release from the 14th of June on Shape (Turnstile) we are happy to further fan the flames of anticipation by making ‘Jasmine’ our Song Of The Day. This whirling dervish of malevolent tribal drumming and otherworldly vocals will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand to attention.
