Islands readying Valentine’s day album

Nick Thorburn has dusted off his band Islands, and the band is going to be back with a new album. The album will be released on valentine’s Day and it will be called A Sleep & A Forgetting. It is going to come out via Anti-. The album will consist of eleven tracks, including ones titled ‘Don’t I Love You’, ‘Cold Again’, ‘Lonely Love’, and ‘In A Dream It Seemed So Real’. Can you say Valentine’s day hit?


Leopold Schutzenbreier woke up, looked around him, let out a sigh of relief. Wow, he thought, I’m so happy I’m not really in a cage guarded by lions to be eaten by cannibals. Sure, living in Wisconsin and rarely making it out didn’t make it very likely to begin with, but in a dream it seemed so real. Suddenly he shot up. If it seems real in a dream, why can’t I  reverse that? Make things seem a dream in reality? That would definitely lessen the anxiety, because it would feel like it never really happened, and it certainly would make that home-baked pear pie of old Mrs. Libtowitz easier to digest.

And lo and behold, he got it to work, and he thought of all the amazing things he could do now since he now is. in essence, numb to negative effects. He could ask that girl out from around the corner, try a contact sport, perhaps do meth. However, when he thought it over while doing his daily flower arranging he soon found out, Hey, it also makes me not feel pleasure anymore, and that while I’m doing my chrysanths! What good is life then? So he threw it away, manned up, and went to Mrs. Libbowitz for some coffee and pear pie with almonds and a slice of lime.
