Island is a collaboration between Ana da Silva and Japanese electronic artist Phew released on shouting out loud! on 28 September 2018. It's a bracing odyssey in industrial noise. It is full of absorbing textures, tactile beats, and a masterfully dynamic compositional style. Each cavernous track feels like a conversation, and out of the ominous dark comes a generative hope. A gripping mood is set by the shared stoicism and subtle playfulness of these two cult punk icons.

Ana da Silva is a founding member and songwriter of post-punk band The Raincoats. Across four albums, The Raincoats helped shape the timeless notion that punk is what you make it to be-an act of raw expression, not any one sound. They set a crucial precedent for feminist work within a DIY punk context, marked all the while by Ana's poetic lyrical style and innovative noise guitar playing.
