Entwining sun-drenched days on the beach with the endless rolling hills of a relaxed country adventure, Islandis brings James Chave-Dubois (East Sydney) and Ben McInerney (Country NSW) together to form something that blends land and sea.

Formed in the depths of winter, Islandis is a brief moment of reflection across the years of escaped summers the two best mates have shared, whilst reveling in the excitement of the approaching warmth of a new season. Its nostalgia and anticipation rolled into a single emotion. 

Drawing influence from artists across time that have similarly embraced this moment, such as Belle and Sebastian, The Whitest Boy Alive, Mondo Rock and The Easybeats, Islandis are swirling guitars and delicate vocals floating across glistening percussion. 

Islandis’ debut release ‘Home’ is a place where all adventures begin and ultimately return, it is not just the first track from the pair but also a journal of escapism and a representation of the urgency of experience. Recorded in James’ and Ben’s home studios then mixed by Adrian Breakspear (Pharrel Williams, Gang of Youths, Ricky Martin), Home is the first track lifted off the duo’s debut EP set for release early 2016.

Lyrics:

thin and white and kinky hair
a shadows climbing up the wall
your letter lying near the phone 
with honors for the patient one 

I know your dark side is stronger than you think 
you always were underneath

was this trouble your nature
why can’t you shake it
even like this
was this trouble your nature
why can’t you say it
even like this
 

I don’t know why


they always have so much to say
and no one there who cared to hear

I know your darkness better than you think
while all your old lovers falling on their knees
and all their hearts exploding underneath
you always were good to me

was this trouble your nature
why can’t you shake it
even like this
was this trouble your nature
why can’t you say it
even like this

Tape Machine

Lyrics:
lonely eyes and a save me smile I know I could die tonight
junior high and I’m getting by
I don’t wanna try

I wanna take you home boy
come with me out in the light
living as(for) somebody else boy
open your eyes
you gotta try boy
open your eyes
squeezing the palm of my hand
in these bodies, we are alone

what could I have changed your mind
tell me
what good when we’re out of time
won’t say that I never tried
will you
set me free by the river side

and let it
take my body

let it take me
back to the river

lonely eyes and a save me smile standing halfway in the night
'cross the room in this neon tomb 
let it be the satellite  

I wanna take you home boy 
come with me out in the light 
living as(for) somebody else boy 
open your eyes 
you gotta try boy 
open your eyes 
who doesn’t need another friend 
in these bodies, we are alone 

what could I have changed your mind
tell me
what good when we’re out of time
won’t say that I never tried
will you
set me free by the river side

and let it
take my body

let it take me
back to the river
