♫♪  Wave Temple - “Isle Enchanted - Part 2 (excerpt)”

It’s hard to imagine anything going on in Florida besides theme parks, the Everglades, and dads in Tommy Bahama gear down in the Keys. The coastal, bucolic vibe of Wave Temples’ latest cassette, Isle Enchanted hints at something deeper, rawer, and mellower than any Parrothead can fathom.

Coming at you December 16 via Not Not Fun, Isle Enchanted recalls the imagined oasis of another NNF release from this year, X.Y.R.’s Mental Journey to B.C.. While the latter played out like a sonic accompaniment to jungle dioramas at a natural history museum, Wave Temples favors simple, slow melodies that often extend the entire length of a cassette. We’ve only got an excerpt from the tape’s B-side, but it’s a good sliver of what you’ll get when the tape drops in a few weeks. Pre-order Isle Enchanted now and let this soundtrack any and all activities in the foreseeable future.
