On May 20, Anti- Records will release Islands’ new record, Arm’s Way, which has been described thus far as, a “natural extension” of the exploration of their debut album, Return to the Sea. Nick Thorburn offers the following statement about Arm’s Way: “After more than a year in the frozen pipes, we are beside ourselves (three times) to be presenting what we believe to be our finest work yet, on the finest label we could think of. It’s been a long time coming, and it’ll be a long time before it’s gone.”
