Though Islands’ frontman Nick Thorburn has been busy with his new project, Mister Heavenly, it looks like we will finally have a new Islands release to follow-up their 2009 album, Vapours, the band has revealed in a press release.

The record, the band’s fourth overall, should be out in early 2012 and is already finished. It will be released via Anti-Records. Those of you attending CMJ might get a sneak preview on what to expect as Islands plays a couple of intimate shows, 10-22 and 10-28 at The Dominion Theater and Lounge, in which it is possible that they could debut some new material. For now stay tuned for the official release information, which should be available soon.
