Fang Island describe their aesthetic as "everyone high-fiving everyone," and on their wildly infectious second album, the Brooklyn rockers take manic musicianship and shoutalong choruses to another level-- even with only a couple of verses and choruses. Fang Island is fractured like any post-punk record while also speaking the language of classic rock, yet often feels like an intricate collage pieced together from elements that make songs memorable. It's simply honest, life-affirming and infectious, and it's that rare concentration of directness and simplicity that makes Fang Island so uniquely and wonderfully inclusive.
