Leafy Outlook

<i>Islands</i> is Josef Salvat’s third studio album, following on from his debut Night Swim featuring the glorious ‘Open Season’ and his delicate cover of Rihanna's ‘Diamonds’, and 2020’s Modern Anxiety that further solidified his ability to channel emotions into textured songwriting and heartburst melodies. Now, released from the shackles of a major label and armed with a new-found sense of independence, confidence and creative control, Islands is the album Josef Salvat has always wanted to create. An album full of angst, emotion and clarity.

On the album Josef says, “I think some of the best songs I've ever written are on this record. Some of the funnest, freest music. Even when there's sadness it's more a wistful understanding. There's an acceptance and forgiveness of past fuckery and moving on. I'm proud of all of my albums for different reasons but I think Islands is my best.” He goes on to say “I've made the most major label album while not being on a major label. I think that's because when I was on a major label I was really trying to keep hold of credibility. But I chose to have that now – I'm not waiting for other people to give it to me. I love pop music and it's what I wanted to make.”
