"It’s been a while..." -raves BrooklynVegan

"Sounding fresh and formidable..." -writes Raven Sings The Blues

"Rousing, surging indie rock anthem suffused with buzzing guitars, pounding drums and gang vocals..." -When You Motor Away drives the point home

"Classic brand of pop rock that’s undeniably built for modern days." -so say Austin Town Hall

Become an Island is the follow-up to 2015’s Chosen Era (Jigsaw/Bleeding Gold). The title track presaged the socially distanced world we lived through to “bait the virus / just for some fun.” But the band started recording it years before the pandemic at Rad Town in Bed-Stuy.

In 2021, after a year of practicing over JamKazam, they got back to in-person again, working on new material, and finishing older material with help from Travis Harrison (Guided by Voices) and mastering by Jamal Ruhe.
