ISLAND are back with a new tune for a wintry February.

'Octopus', out now via Frenchkiss Records, is a sweet, melodic indie-pop delight from the quartet, written during lockdown last year and produced by Thom Yorke collaborator Mikko Gordon.

"'Octopus’ describes the feeling of looking back on rebellious teenage years from a time where an impulse to cause trouble has been replaced with new sentiments," say the band. "The song ends by flirting with the idea of reverting back to old ways, and getting back to making trouble."
