jimr Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 taken from http://simplemission.typepad.com/"I know you've been wondering. Where is Nick Diamonds? Where is J'aime? Montreal? LA? NYC? Since winning the hearts of the masses as two/thirds of the French Canadian band the Unicorns, the pair have been busy traveling around this country and theirs working on various musical projects including a brand new fantastique pop group called Islands.Diamonds describes his group's new music as "F-14 tomcat blah, blah," which is really French-Canadian slang for fiery, shiny and shimmering madcap pop. Really though, it's wonderful stuff and I couldn't be happier to be the first kid on the block to bring it to you.This time out, you can take a little piece of the music home "abominable snow flesh its loverly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 lovely lovelyAbominable Snowman:"Lo-fi indie-pop with jangly guitars and an anthemic melody that says F.U. to A-B-A structures moving from rapid-fire pop through quiet introspection and into synth-driven melodrama-- in under two minutes-- with lyrics about space crashes, yeti spottings, Canada, and lines like "Since you've been gone, everyone has died"-- yeah, still pretty much the Unicorns M.O., Alden or no. This track has a bit more immediate appeal and a little less of the unique charm of Islands' former band, but whether you were a Unicorns fan or not, I guarantee they'll be at least 20 seconds of this song you'll enjoy."
