When writing about Nick Thorburn's Reefer, we also made sure to mention his work with Human Highway and, his most popular project, Islands. As far as the latter, this creepy "Creeper" clip's the first we've heard from Islands since they covered Brian Eno and themselves at Daytrotter. But forget day -- this is all about night. The guys sit stoically (or stonedly?) in a log cabin until a paper airplane gets tossed, Thorburn ends up in a Tron-on-Magic Rocks realm, and things get spookier. For instance: Speaking of "covered," check out the monster covered in wax. Also: Water is a dancer.

Ever since Nick Thorburn brought back Islands circa COVID, the band has been mighty prolific. They’ve thus far released two albums this decade, 2021’s Islomania and 2023’s And That’s Why Dolphins Lost Their Legs. Now, they’re already back with their third in a three-year span.

Last month, Death Valley Girls, the Los Angeles band who make awesomely psychedelic garage rock, released their album Islands In The Sky. It fucking rules. Today, the band has followed that LP with a new single, and it’s got a bit of a wild backstory.
