Islands marries off-kilter jazz rhythms with vocalist Sameer Gadhia s haunting falsetto to create an unnerving effect. The electric slide guitar that punctuates Street Walker shrouds the song s frenetic pulse and soaring vocals in mystery. The chiming guitars in Twelve Fingers” exude pure joy, while the rhythmic swing of “Strings,” and the sun-stained pop of “I Got” capture Young The Giant in their SoCal glory.
