Islands to Release New Album in Early 2012

BY Alex HudsonPublished Oct 19, 2011

In 2011, songwriter Nick "Diamonds" Thorburn has released an album with his band Mister Heavenly and dropped a solo collection online. Next year, however, the busy pop rocker will be returning his attention to his main project, Islands.

According to a newly issued press release, Islands "recently finished a brand new album which will be released via Anti-Records early next year."

At this point, we don't have any more information than that, but we're already getting excited about the follow-up to 2009's hook-heavy Vapours.

Islands will be playing two shows at CMJ this month: on October 22 and 28, both at the Dominion Theater. If you happen to swing by the shows, maybe you'll catch a preview of some new material.
