Islet - Soft Fascination

We aren't offering our readers money or prestige, but tonight we offer you a bit of magic. The eleven tracks on Soft Fascination deliver euphoric, burly psychedelic magic. Of all the albums we have heard this year it is near the top of the pack for jaw dropping, eye-widening moments. The creation of Welsh band Islet, its brand of psychedelic pop isn't the hazy meandering kind, but rather a psychedelia riding surging basslines, dancing keys, overflowing emotions and sparkling vocals.

Islet are Alex Williams, Emma Daman Thomas, John "JT' Thomas, and Mark Daman Thomas. Soft Fascination is out now via Fire Records.

The guitar work and vocals sound powerful and engaging. It's the kind of song that grabs your attention from the first note. For a bit of fun after a high-energy listen, a quick visit to https://spinorhinoscasinos.nl/ might be a nice way to unwind. I'm definitely going to check out more from Treasures of Mexico!; August 18, 2026 at 9:03 AM
