Nick Thorburn recently put out the new album Ski Mask with his group Islands, and now he’s got another bit of new music. “Hawaii” is a song that Thorburn wrote and recorded on Friday, he notes on its SoundCloud page. It’s a stripped down acoustic track, but Thorburn’s voice fills it in nicely. Li...

Islands, the longstanding indie-pop enterprise fronted by ex-Unicorns member Nick Diamonds, just released a new album called Ski Mask, which Thorburn touts as “like a summation of Islands, everything we’ve ever done distilled into one record.” Now that album has its own mockumentary featuring comedians Michael Cera,...
