With the wave of positive indie-pop edging its way into the mainstream, Fang Island presents a uniquely progressive and guitar-based take on the genre. Their layers of riffs can seem daunting at first, but their sound begs repeated listening and the intricacies behind the wall of awesome reveal themselves over time. Stereogum called their jam “The Absolute Place” a “triumphant, heavily riffed, primarily instrumental epic, whiplashing through six minutes of smiling prog jams, and as many tempos as passages, before settling into one last minute of uplifting chants.” Fang Island describes its sound as “everyone high-fiving everyone.”
