Islands Shares Groovy New Single “Superstitious” and Announces Fall 2023 Tour Dates

The Canadian indie rock band Islands have just shared their latest single “Superstitious.” Listen to it below.

“Superstitious” gives the audiences a dreamy and wondrous atmosphere. The vocals are dreamy and mesmerizing, accompanied with the beats and guitar chords, really subverted expectation from fans.

Commenting on the song, the band shares that “”At its essence, this is a love song. Musically it may sound “sad”, but it’s actually one of the most joyful songs on the album. It’s attempting to capture the almost religious experience of falling in love.”

When asked about the making process of this new song, the band shares that “When I write a song, I never truly know if what I’m making is working. There’s a blind approach that requires a kind of faith that something good will happen. There’s no strategy, and no grand plan. And I think that’s really the only way to do it. To give in to chaos. You’ll make some ugly trees along the way but when you hit upon something good, it’s supernatural and even merciful, like you’ve been liberated from yourself.” The song is from their upcoming new album And That’s Why Dolphins Lost Their Legs, which would be out August the 25^th.

Together with the release of this new song came the announcement of their upcoming tour schedule, listed below.
