THE FULL PRESS ON THE
EVE OF THE BATTLE SINGLE HERE. *READ THE FULL PRESS ON THE PERFUMED LANDS CD/LP HERE. *SOME PRESS CLIPS ABOUT PERFUMED LANDS: “A slow-burn album for all seasons. 8/10” NME “…a remarkably wonderful album… Pop perfection guaranteed.” www.losingtoday.com “The effervescence and pop smarts that The Isles deliver come as a breathe of fresh air…If they keep it up, the indie scene might have a new genre...” www.kevchino.com “..a success due to the restrained arrangements, excellent songwriting…Isles is easily one of the best new bands of the year.” www.babysue.com “…not just a case of mimicking the Brits …their own jangle rush gloriously presides.” Record Collector “Throughout the record its production is pristine, utilizing hi-fi and low-fi sounds to suit and always sounding perfectly mixed…a very welcome change from the sludge that is becoming of the unchanging industry...” www.roomthirteen.com “If Neil Finn had been in the Smiths, they might've sounded something like this.” www.fingertipsmusic.com “…it's impossible not to feel like The Isles have got a really good thing going here.“ www.rockmidgets.com “This is not homespun twee, friends, Isles have a very polished, mainstream pop sound that is tailor-made for radio play.” www.lefthip.com “The album has a charm about it which should appeal to a very diverse crowd. It has a worked-edge to it and an air of perfection. An album for the Summer and those feel-good days.” www.subba-cultcha.com “Songs like the album opener ‘Major Arcana’ drop the listener directly into memories of the Britpop heyday. It’s music that you can’t help but get sucked into, humming and dancing badly too.” www.spacelab.tv “This will have NME readers everywhere dancing like idiots before too long.” www.thecommunion.co.uk “…The Isles produce a silkier English grey better than any of their contemporaries.” The Fly “…The guitar arrangements are as delicate and sacred as Communion wafers, the vocal beautifully distanced…they’ve landed a sublime, Hand in Glove knockout.” Alternative Ulster “The Isles will no doubt prove to be just as an important signing for Melodic as the Dears were to Bella Union two years ago. These guys really are that romantically appealing.” Loud and Quiet “I believe the biggest compliment anyone can give a band or an album is publicly stating that while it's not your typical fare, said band/album will win you over. Consider Perfumed Lands and The Isles to fit such a statement.” www.bigyawn.net |
