Fou De Toi – Island /song review/

Island is Fou De Toi’s attempt to write a happy song in contrast to their otherwise meloncholic repertoire. I think they succeeded. From the first guitar chord, Island chimes in like…well…chimes – bright and clean and warm. The singer’s voice resembles Chris Martin’s…
