The Cool Death of Island Raiders

Operating under one of their earliest monikers, John Dwyer's project leans heavily into weird, lo-fi freak folk and droning acoustic psych-rock. The production is incredibly murky and intimate, serving as a stark contrast to the high-energy garage punk that would define their later career. It features vocal contributions from TV on the Radio's Kyp Malone.
