Island Share New Single ‘Young Days’

---

London’s Island have returned with a new single ‘Young Days’, the news follows the recent announcement of their much anticipated new album ‘Yesterday Park’.

The announcement comes on the heels of their recent critically acclaimed singles ‘Do You Remember The Times’, ‘My Brother’, ‘Everyone’s The Same’, and ‘Octopus’, which are all also taken from the new album that’s set to release 25th June via Frenchkiss Records.

The singles and album mark the band’s first new material since 2019 and has seen them already rack up almost 1 million streams.

The new track sees the band further lean into a theme of nostalgia that is at once poignant and sanguine – this is further accentuated in the beautiful accompanying video (directed by vocalist Rollo Doherty), which follows a group of young skateboarders.

As with their previous single, there are hints to the 90s beat-driven instrumentation that the band claim to have drawn influence from in their new material, but not at the cost of their unique, explorative dynamics and anthemic songwriting.
