Listening to "Islands", FORKUPINES' new album coming out in October 2020, you can't help but wonder.

The album sounds darker, more introvert and thoughtful than its predecessor "Here, Away From".

Forkupines are still more than capable to write perfect three-minute hymns ("Envy"). They still whip out these damn catchy choruses ("Moving On").

They still find that elusive sweet spot between simplicity and attention to detail like it's their second nature.
