London alternative rock trio Iron Islands have released their new track ‘Within These Bones’. The track was written about lead singer, Martin Andrews’ experience of losing his father and all the money made from the downloads are going to the British Heart Foundation.
‘Within These Bones’ is a delicate heartfelt slow jam. Elegant piano gently glides throughout the track with a free flowing innocence while the cushioned drums and strong bass give support and strength to this emotional tender song. Though the subject matter is sombre and raw the instrumentation maintains a hopeful bounce and positivity almost like a comforting warm blanket against the harsh reality. Iron Islands beautifully portray this emotional story of coming to grips with the loss of a loved one with dignity and superb elegance.

London trio Iron Islands have released their new single ‘Contrails’. Consisting of members Martin Andrew (Vocals and Piano), Al Baker (Bass) and Olly Brown (Drums), Iron Islands have made a name for themselves for their melodic compositions with the right amount of hooks, heartfelt lyrics and addictive instrumentation.
‘Contrails’ is a fine example of this with elegantly flowing piano running along an elastic bassline and a steady beat which sets the perfect busy back drop for the catchy melody. The track is instrumentally bustling and flutters rapidly while the soft yet dynamic vocals highlight the tender lyrics. The piano feature is playful and feathery light as it dances in between the flexible nimble bass creating a rich texture with a fluttering delicate and graceful quality. This track is light bright with an exquisite amount of intelligent instrumentation creating a beautiful delicate treasure of melodies weaving and playfully interacting.
