Release Notes:

Newislands' "Out Of Time" inspires a series of immediate responses, not
necessarily regarding the music. On a day when Islands released a song
from their upcoming record, Newislands has the same ring as New York
and New England. This would be, of course, if Newislands wanted to
duplicate, improve and free itself from the religious constraints of
the band Islands. This would be if Newislands was a rebellious, if
achingly indebted, colony of the band Islands. This is, perhaps, an
unecesarily high-concept first paragraph. Newislands sound almost
nothing like Islands and their most profound connection is that I
happened to be listening to them on the same day in late August 2009.

"Out Of Time" is a sparkling bit of synth-pop. Its most memorable
moment is a glittering, tumbling synth-loop that sounds a shade like
Animal Collective's "My Girls." But Newislands are up to something more
retro than the far edges of freak-folk. "Out Of Time" sounds like a
lost New Order single, right down to the wistful lyrics and the
echoing, distant vocals. In this way, Newislands, musically, are
tipping old influences, while very actually sounding far away. It's a
charming mixture of metaphysics and reality; like a more recent version
of something old, like a brand new (order) colony. And everything comes
together, if only at the last minute.
