Isles & Glaciers - The Hearts of Lonely People [2010]

The first and probably only EP to ever be released from the SUPERGROUP Isles & Glaciers. The members Jonny Craig, Craig Owens, Vic Fuentes, Mike Fuentes, Nick Martin, Matt Goddard, and Brian Southall bring you the most melodic and and poppy Post-Hardcore record you will ever hear. It has taken about a year and a half, and probably a few human sacrifices, for this album to be released. With that being said it is a really good EP, not as great as you would hope but its still very solid. If your going into this fresh then your mind will be blown. Tracks like Clush, Hills Like White Elephants, and Empty Sighs and Wine are phenominal and are just as good as anything any of these artists have put out individually. However if your like us and have been listening to those same three tracks that leaked over a year ago you'll be a little disappointed. The two new tracks and two instrumentals are extremely anticlimatic. Viola Lion and Cemetary Weather are two slower tracks that you just werent expecting to hear from this band. Considering the popish style of the the three leaked tracks I was expecting the rest of the EP to be a little heavier, considering Nick Martin the lead singer/screamer of one of the best straight hardcore bands out there is involved. However Nicks vocal contribution was minimal. I am not going to even touch on the instrumentals except that it just slightly confuses me as to why a band with three (four) vocalists would put two instrumentals on a seven track EP. All things considered the fanboys will gush and the haters will hate, but I still really like the EP it will probably be one of the better ones released this year.
