Fang Island has been getting a decent bit of hype recently and I thought I would throw in my two cents. Right off the bat you might notice the soaring Ratatat-esque guitars that remind me of video game music. Always surprisingly joyous, Fang Island constantly bring me back to the ending/victory anthems of old Super Nintendo games - which isn't a bad thing. Upon a second listen, the facet that makes Fang Island worth many listens is the sometimes plaintive, sometimes raucous a shout-a-long, sometimes very choral vocals that just sort of appear on most tracks. The combination works and contributes to a whole that is greater than just video game inspired guitar shredding.
