Documented collaborators
Islands began as a bold, melodic project in 2005, born from the split of The Unicorns. Founded in Montreal by Nick Thorburn (aka Nick Diamonds) and Jamie Thompson, Islands has since operated with fluid lineups, continually evolving its sound while keeping a core indie sensibility. The project sits at the intersection of intimate lyrics, lush arrangements, and adventurous arrangements that fans have trusted for over a decade. Here you’ll find a concise biography, a complete look at their studio albums, and notes on recent and upcoming live appearances.
