If you were on a desert island, what 10 albums would you take? Maybe something from the band Islands (Return To The Sea probably)? How about The Green Album, for the “Island In The Sun” track. Future Islands? Beirut’s Lon Gisland EP? Fang Island? The Lonely Island? On Avery Island? I could go on and on. In fact, I think I just did.
On May 17th, Chad VonGaalen will release a gift to smart-asses everywhere with Diaper Island, your new go-to answer when you feel like blowing off a hypothetical. Music fans of more distinguished taste should also be overjoyed. The album promises to be his most sonically cohesive album to date, and the closest thing he has done to a rock album. The artist also will use his visual art skills to provide cool new pieces to accompany the cd or vinyl.
Look for Diaper Island on Sub Pop.
