Islet

Playful indie poppers from Cardiff. Fans of Pavement and Deerhoof will lap up their debut album Illuminated People, but it’s worth noting that their mo- ments of down-to-earth grandeur owe as much to fellow Welsh outfits like Super Furry Animals and Gorky’s Zygotic Mynci. Oh yeah, and despite any of their cutesy indie pop grooves on record, the live incarnation comes with plenty of jagged, percussive freak-out fire that we think you’ll adore.
