Islands has a new record out called "What Occurs" and Islands lead singer Nick Thorburn couldn't be more stoked to release it Friday June 21st.

Lead singer Nick Thorburn leans against the jet black wall of LA's "Club Zebulon" and languidly sips his White Claw spritzer.

"I love the new record. It's called "What Occurs"" he offers, blue eyes piercing through the hazy dimness of the hipster mecca.

"But the thing is, I spent dozens of hours on this album, I put my friends on it, we collabed on it, it was a beautiful experience putting it together, but here's the thing - A.I. might do a better job than bands."

Nick pours himself into a booth at the back of the bar and slides all the way back, like a greased up newborn, to the booth jukebox, where he shuffles through potential selections with his nimble fingers.

"The Doors, Bon Jovi, John Cale, Paula Abdul. All the new music sucks" he sputters as he snaps his fingers for a waiter.

"Garcon! I'm about to spill!"

The server makes their way over as Nick, like a petulant little puck, pours his White Claw spritzer all over the table.

"Want a tip, lady? Don't buy no Brooklyn Bridges!"

Nick stands and starts "flossing".

"My s$$%t blows all that s%^&t out of the water!"

All of Club Zebulon is now looking at Nick.

"But me and Jon went on a roadtrip and man... AI might just be better than bandssssss!"

Nick gyrates like Weiland at a sock-hop.

"... I don't care what Jon says, and how good AI writes songs about the 2 Jons Podcast in many genres, it may be better, but can it do THISSSSSS????

Nick smacks the jukebox with his light blue loafer.

"Johnny Be Good" comes to life and Nick starts Twisting! And then all of Zeb starts Twisting!

"This is just like Back To The Future! With Doc Brown, Marty and the Mom? Weeeeeeeeeeee!"

Nick pulls out copies of What Occurs and starts tossing them out like a frisbee golfer on PCP.

"One hundred Twenty One Giga-What-Occurs Martyyyyy!"
