Fang Island ??? Sky Gardens EP {Corleone}

Fang Island sounds like some mysterious, magical, mythical jungle sanctuary with deep chasms, gargantuan prehistoric creatures, treacherous jagged mountains and murky swampland just a hop skip & jump from King Kong???s Skull Island.?? It???s just the sort of place to metamorphose out of some child???s vivid overactive fantasy world.?? Sky Gardens is the X-marked spot on a treasure map whence this upland Brooklyn quintet eek out their marvelous snapped up instrumental monster rock.?? Ultra zippy & vigorous indie rock, neo-pop, progressive post-rock, math rock & melodic hardcore with soaring solos harmonizing above the crashing heavy undertow and slapdash tuneful vocals.?? Fang Island seems to hold the diverse shape & color of such distinctive species as Fugazi, Deerhoof, Pink and Brown, the Advantage, Battles & the Mae Shi.?? This ought to have you feeling supercharged & ready for some action & adventure.?? Expert musicianship & lively precision playing that is loose & limber. Very, very good stuff.
