Shrinking Islands website, and Shrinking Islands on Myspace. You can also purchase the their debut album “In The Black Carpet” in various formats from Sort of Records.These songs were recorded at Pine St. Laundry by Shrinking Islands, May-July 2007. Mixed from 4-track cassette to digital files at Pipeline! Studio, July 2007. The cycle, sometimes referred to as The Mellancamp Trilogy, was written as it was recorded onto the 4-track and tested out at shows.Following the In The Black Carpet album, these songs satisfied an impulse, possibly initiated at a GBV tribute night, to play succinct rockers with some more Feelies motorik action - or heartland chug if you will. The cloak and dagger lyrics heard on In the Black Carpet are now dappled with Kiwi sunshine and generous fuzz and tremolo supplements, as they ride The Bats’ daddy’s highway straight onto the J. Cougar Farm-Aid stage, replete with above-the-head claps. Please listen to this with the windows open, or down, but preferably with the aid of boombox placed in a windowsill overlooking a sizzlin’ grill.
