For someone not usually into predominantly instrumental albums, Fang Island's catchy self-titled LP is an uplifting feel-good revelation. Sure, the choral chants (rare normal vocals are found wanting) spread over its half hour help immensely, but it's more than that... Wonderfully cohesive, some songs set up their successors without significantly dipping in quality themselves - even if a few are only elongating a single idea. The Brooklyn based quintet's 3-way guitar attack brilliantly perform everything from technical tempo-switching prog-rock to intertwining pop melodies, while drummer Marc St. Sauveur more than plays his role. And then there is that fun, joyous, exuberant & celebratory feel which makes the LP so sincerely unique. High five! Recommended Tracks: Daisy, Sideswiper, Welcome Wagon & Davey Crockett.

I honestly don't think I have ever felt happier in such a short space of time.

This seriously needs to be played in hospitals and asylums and prisons and stuff. It would be awesome.

I've had a difficult few past weeks but saw this and listened to it. Now I'm cured of unhappiness. Davey Crockett maybe the most emotional high song ever. Add to the fact that someone made a freakin vince carter dunk video to the song. It's like every song could end an epic 80's movie where the music starts, the main characters jump and high-five, and the camera pans towards the sky.
