Fang Island

"Asunder"

BY Alex HudsonPublished May 16, 2012

When Brooklyn-based party-starters Fang Island named their new album Major, we were fairly certain that it would offer hyper-caffeinated, unrepentantly sunny pump-up tracks. Those suspicions have now been confirmed by the arrival of the single "Asunder."

Much like the material from the band's 2010 debut, "Asunder" is a surge of sugar-addled adrenaline that's lead by climactic drums, overdriven guitar licks and repetitive, chant-like vocals. It's a pretty good summary of everything that the band does well.

Check out the track below.

Major arrives on July 24 via Sargent House. Learn more about the album here.
