Fang Island announce second album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 9 May 2012
Instrumental rockists Fang Island have announced that their second album, ‘Major’, will be released on 24 Jun via Sargent House. Explaining their ethos, guitarist Jason Bartell said: “One of our core ideas has always been that our songs would be all of your favourite parts of the song that other bands make you wait eight minutes to get to. We wanted to be the band that’s nothing but your favourite hooks back to back”.
Meanwhile, fellow guitarist Chris Georges provided a list of reasons the band chose to call the album ‘Major’:
– Major key (the first song is minor though!)
– Valley girl colloquialism
– Because we are on an independent label
– Because the rank under Sargent (House) is major
– It sounds like a constellation
– Steely Dan’s ‘Any Major Dude’ was in rotation a lot during the sessions
– The record is packaged to look like stone because it’s ROCK. I really wanted people to hold a piece of rock when they picked up the record.
And here’s a short teaser trailer that we can all enjoy:
