Private Island
Close your eyes while listening to Private Island and you will immediately be transported to another world, where waves of the purest blue kiss white sand beaches; where the sun’s limitless power beats down, an invigorating force that fuels your lifeblood. Bliss drips like honey from Private Island’s EP Sunbreak, but don’t let the exotic sounds of Southern California fool you into thinking life is paradise: The independent Los Angeles sextet’s sophomore release is a magical five-song exploration of love and possibility, of loss and helplessness, and of youth and maturity. Mixing illusions of tropical fantasy with heavy doses of reality, Private Island questions their world and its players, colorfully capturing meaningful moments that we don’t mind reliving.
