New Entry: The Islas Unveil New Single "The Absence of You"

Norfolk indie rock/alt/new pop band The Islas have unveiled their new single "The Absence of You".

With upbeat rhythms, sharp melodies and thoughtful lyricism that hints at influences of The Smiths, Beautiful South, Paul Weller & Sam Fender, their songs are harvested from youth and the experiences British adolescents face throughout their journey into adulthood. The anxiety, happiness, sadness and first loves - and everything in-between.

Written throughout the confines of the pandemic, the song arose after the downfall of a long term relationship. Tackling post-break-up emotions and the feelings of insecurities, regret and lack of confidence, Baverstock shares, “The single is not really a love-sick song about wanting someone back, just the sensation of feeling empty and realising that that chapter of your life has gone.”

It is taken from their upcoming six-track EP 'Oblivion'. Get it here and take a listen below.
