Islands’ Anti- Records debut Arm’s Way finds the young, critically-acclaimed Montreal sextet heading in a surprising new direction. Their 2006 release, Return to the Sea, was heralded as a stunning work of impulsive outbursts and emotional explorations. Arm’s Way sees the band naturally evolving to a more lavish, yet centered, sound that showcases songwriter Nick Thorburn’s astounding talent. Prefix Magazine has called him “an extraordinary songwriter.” With Ryan Hadlock (Blonde Redhead, Stephen Malkmus) as co-producer, Island’s Arm’s Way opens the door to a sprawling symphonic world that fans and critics have been looking for.
“On _Arm’s Way_, gifted singer-songwriter Nick Thorburn broadens the band’s quirk-pop into wonderfully shambolic arena rock — for an arena of 5,000 people. Guitars mingle with viola, clarinet and piano, hopping genres and tempos with an Of Montreal-style theatricality” – Rolling Stone
“As a fully realized, bombastically confident artistic statement, Arm’s Way is Nick Thorburn’s 69 Love Songs. Hereafter we will only seek to understand him according to his own pop- and violence-addled logic, mapped perfectly on this thrilling album.“- Slant Magazine
