Islands' 2016 album "Taste" is a self-produced, P.E.I.-recorded exercise in art-pop maximalism that veers into the avant-garde. The record showcases the band's continued willingness to experiment with unconventional song structures and sonic textures.
- "Taste" was written and recorded over two weeks in a remote studio in Prince Edward Island.
- The album was self-released on Manque Music, the band's own label.
- The release saw Islands scale back to a duo, with Nicholas Thorburn and Adam Grant being the core members.
