Fang Island’s new self-titled album starts big and doesn’t quit. The album is a surge of high spirited, jubilant rock. Opening with a double dose of high intensity instrumental fireworks and only slowly moving into the bare minimum of required lyrics. It’s hard to compare to anything more than a rock concert where the lead singer forgot all the words but the background singers are on point. Harmonizing vocals and guitars bring the album to life, while the drums keep everything on beat. Each song builds and builds, never hitting a climax until it’s all but done.
