London 4 piece ISLAND announce new single ‘Spotless Mind’.

‘Spotless Mind’ is available to stream on all platforms today as the first half of a double single, set for release on the 20th of May.

This follows the success of their debut EP ‘Girl’ from November 2015. From this the band’s debut single, ‘Stargazer’, hit over a million streams in just a few months and was positioned at #7 on the Spotify global chart.

On the ground, the band tonight turn their attention to their sell out show at 400 capacity Oslo, Hackney, support coming from Issac Gracie. Such was the demand for tickets the show was announced as sold out two months in advance.

ISLAND revel in capturing attention. Formed in Oxford, Rollo Doherty (vocals, guitar), James Wolfe (bass guitar), Jack Raeder (guitar), and Toby Richards (drums) spent much of 2016 in quick ascendancy and ‘Spotless Mind’ finds the boys highly self-assured with swelling guitars building up to a towering chorus. With a striking balancing of warmth and rawer textures, the listener is taken through a journey of a real classic indie rock sound, one that is destined for huge arenas.

“Every single action in life seeming to lead to a never-ending web of consequences. Spotless Mind explores the idea ‘what if’.” – ISLAND

Earlier this year, ISLAND performed for the first time in mainland Europe to a packed crowd at London Calling Festival in Amsterdam and their exciting live plot continues, starting tonight at Oslo and followed by performances at The Great Escape Festival and Citadel festival in Victoria Park.

Summer festivals will also be announced soon along with a UK / European Tour planned for autumn.

Spotless Mind is out today via Beatnik Creative.
