Over the past few weeks new music seems to be popping up all over from bands that previously captured my heart/interest. Montreal’s Islands, whose previous albums Arm’s Way and Return To The Sea rocked my world, unleashed the first title track single from their upcoming album Vapours (out September 22nd). It has a poppier, almost Van Morrison-like feel to it. Check it:

Another one word band, Panther, has a new album coming out a week after the Islands release. This one, titled Entropy, is due out on September 29th via Kill Rock Stars. Panther gives us a sneak peek of their new sound with “Love Is Sold”. This track packs a lot more melody than their previous songs…and I’m lovin’ it. While I enjoyed their rhythm heavy tunes off of 14 Kt God, this infusion of better singing…well…is better.
