Listen to the new Islands album, 'A Sleep & A Forgetting'

by Nicole Villeneuve

Nick Thorburn’s newest output, Islands’ A Sleep & A Forgetting, is a darker affair than we’re used to hearing from him—the album is being released next Tuesday, on Valentine’s Day for the purpose of closure (it’s about a broken relationship).

Exclaim! has a stream of the album now, so if you’d like to delve into Thorburn’s heartbreak a bit early, head over there to give it a listen.

Islands will also be doing a small Canadian trek in support of the album; you can check those dates out below.
