Island Hill Returns with ‘The Voyage’ EP
Island Hill is back with a bang! After a two-year break following their debut album Strangers In Paradise on Bedrock, the band has returned with a new EP, ‘The Voyage’, and it’s a game-changer.
If you were into their lush songwriting and dreamy Pacific guitars before, wait till you hear how they’ve evolved. Partnering with the Ukrainian producer Komilev, known for his releases on Discotexas, Exploited, and Watergate, Island Hill has leveled up, adding some serious dancefloor vibes to their signature sound.
What’s New in Island Hill’s Sound?
‘The Voyage’ is a perfect blend of organic textures and modern club energy, with Komilev’s slick production driving the entire project forward. The three tracks on this EP are packed with hypnotic grooves, vocoder vocals, and layers of electronic magic that pull you right in. It’s bold, it’s fresh, and it’s undeniably Island Hill, but with a whole new twist.
Collaborating with Komilev: A Perfect Match
Komilev’s influence is clear throughout the EP. His touch adds a modern edge, and you can hear it in the production’s crispness and complexity. This isn’t just a rehash of what they’ve done before; ‘The Voyage’ is all about pushing boundaries and exploring new sonic spaces. The collaboration feels natural, and the result is a sound that feels fresh, vibrant, and ready to tear up the dancefloor.
The Tracks: Exploring ‘The Voyage’
The first track opens with smooth, atmospheric vibes that fans of their debut will recognize, but as it builds, you feel the energy shift. The groove becomes more intense, and you’re hit with these vocoder vocals that feel futuristic and funky. It’s a perfect balance of the organic and the synthetic, showing just how much Island Hill has grown musically.
How Komilev’s Production Shines Through
Island Hill has always been known for their emotive and lush songwriting, but now, with Komilev’s help, they’ve dug deeper into the dance music scene. The EP still holds onto the dreamy vibes that made their debut album so memorable, but it’s got that extra punch now. It’s a record that will move you both emotionally and physically – you’ll want to close your eyes and let it take you to a different place while also tapping your feet to the beats.
Island Hill’s Bold New Direction
If you’re a fan of groovy, emotive dance music with a touch of indie flair, this EP is definitely for you. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to their sound, ‘The Voyage’ is an exciting glimpse into the future of Island Hill.
