The Flower Kings – Islands
Friday releases, courtesy of the coronavirus #47
The Flower Kings' 14th studio album is out today, less than a year after their previous album, Waiting for Miracles.
Released as a double CD and triple vinyl, it features more than an hour and a half of music.
The album was written and recorded remotely during the coronavirus pandemic, with recording locations spanning Italy, Austria, Denmark, California and Sweden.
A quick look at the tracklist reveals songs a little shorter than the band's fans may be used to. Each connects to the central theme of isolation, reflected in the album's title. Rather than a collection of individual songs, it feels like a long, continuous double concept album.
