Islands’ most recent release, Ski Mask, might have come out last year, but sometimes Nick Thorburn just says, “We are Islands! We are the gift that keeps on giving.” So in this case, that means you can go grab a download (for a limited time only!) of “Aloe Hills Are Blooming,” a song that didn’t make the cut for the album but is a goody nonetheless; you can also stream it at the bottom of this here post.
The freebie track isn’t enough for Thorburn, though. He also told the band sternly that they are going on tour and they’re going to like it, dammit. They kick off with TEEN at the end of August. Check the dates below.
