islet - Wimmy

Review by Noel Gardner

You can look at Wimmy as an example of how 2010’s musical climate can facilitate rad noise, or just as a sweet slab from a band who are walking to, basically, their own step.»

Rough Trade Amazon UK

second mini album of 2010 from cardiff-based islet, a band that evades description. islet are liquid, rotating between instruments, singing, howling. drum-duo breakdowns, splashes
of guitar, searing organs. playing music for the joy of the moment. 'wimmy' was recorded by the group themselves at a rehearsal room in cardiff. this, their second release, 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. limited vinyl edition of 500 copies, including
download code.
