Review by David Renshaw

The playful abandon makes Celebrate This uniquely unidentifiable and what you suspect might be the beginning of a very adventurous journey for these Welsh explorers.»

islet are liquid, rotating between instruments, singing, howling. drum-duo breakdowns, splashes of guitar, searing organs. playing music for the joy of the moment. 'celebrate this place' is a paean to possibility and the joy of sound and being. it was recorded by the group themselves at home in a mid-wales barn and a cardiff bedroom. this, their first record, crosses the danceable electro-wash of gang gang dance and the careful racket of no-wave, the dulcet harmonies of os mutantes and the rhythmic noisiness of can. the group also make - 'the isness', an ongoing visual project which bridges the gap between zine and artist's book. 'celebrate this place', the band's first release, is available on limited 12' vinyl on shape (turnstile).
