Wake Island who will be launching their new record April 29th and playing Toronto May 6th and 7th (for CMW).

In case you’re not totally familiar with the band, they’re a Lebanese duo who started making music after meeting in Montreal. This second album deals with the realities of re concilin g oneself after the culture shock of immigrating, but is also an new electronic project that utilizes its live shows to experiment with sounds in different ways, which typically ends up in pretty fun dance parties.

Their sound is a blend of various influences of electronic and pop music, touching upon themes of self discovery through immigration and adapting to new environments. The band then took their work to long time collaborator, friend and producer Jace Lasek (The Besnard Lakes). With his help, they were able to infuse rock elements in their new electronic recordings, which created a sense of coherence with their past work.
