Event information

Islet is a Welsh quartet whose free-spirited invention and exuberant intensity is hypnotic, exhilarating and defiantly unique.

Islet have released three studio albums and four EPs. They have been shortlisted for the Welsh Music Prize twice: in 2012, for Illuminated People and in 2020, for Eyelet.

Islet is all about being subsumed in sound, with a fierce urge to challenge, to embrace, communicate, excite and, ultimately, set their audience free. They are following their own course, awash with synthesisers with a rhythmic pulse creating a delicate balance between repetition, volume and the romance of time, an ecstatic experience through music.
‘Soft Fascination’ is released 29th September on Fire Records. They’ll be performing live shows across the UK around the album’s release this Autumn.

“They blew my mind. It was the perfect mix of experimentation and entertainment, brain and heart engaged simultaneously” Stewart Lee

“Islet are undoubtedly one of the best live bands playing in Britain” Loud & Quiet

"Islet have done the impossible: made avant-garde polystylist art music ludicrous amounts of fun" NME

This event is organised in association with Tangled Parrot.
