Isles & Glaciers - The Hearts of Lonely People EP

[Drew Beringer]

Isles & Glaciers – The Hearts of Lonely People EP
Release Date: March 9, 2010
Record Label: Equal Vision

Not many groups have gotten the kind of buzz and attention that Isles & Glaciers have received over the course of the past year. But then again, not many groups feature two of the best vocalists in the scene. The captain of this ship is former Chiodos vocalist Craig Owens, who enlisted the talents of Jonny Craig (Emarosa), Vic and Mike Fuentes (Pierce The Veil), Brian Southall (The Receiving End of Sirens), Nick Martin (Underminded/Cinematic Sunrise), and Matt Goddard (Chiodos). Together they make the super-scene-group, Isles & Glaciers, and after months of anticipation, they have released their debut Equal Vision EP, The Hearts of Lonely People.

Produced by Casey Bates, The Hearts of Lonely People is built around the three vocalists (Owens, Craig, and Fuentes) unique talents, thus regulating everything else to background noise. Not that this is bad thing. The vocals are incredible throughout; even the generally grating voice of Fuentes doesn’t hurt the overall sound. The combination of Owens’ tenor and the way Craig complements it results in beautiful harmonies and transitions.

The first two tracks, “Kings and Chandeliers” and “Hills Like White Elephants,” work as single piece of work. With an intro that mimes something from Danny Elfman’s playbook, the second track takes off immediately with Owens’ voice dominating the scene. Again, the vocal teamwork between Owens and Craig is an auditory treat. “Clush” is the poppiest song on the EP, but it still maintains an aggressive edge. Originally conceived as a Pierce The Veil song, it was transitioned into a track for Isles & Glaciers, so it should be no surprise that this track is heavy on the Vic.

“Empty Sighs and Wine” features great structure, as it’s flooded by Goddard’s lively bass line, Southall’s and Nick Martin’s mastery guitar riffs, and Mike Fuentes drum work, creating a vibrant rush of melody. Craig really shines here as well. In fact, this might be the strongest Craig’s voice has ever been. The somber seven-minute closer, “Cemetery Weather,” is very electronic-based and works more as a showcase of the band’s vocal talents. The two aforementioned tracks here give a glimpse of how good this project could be if the band members were able to dedicate more time to it.

The fact is Craig Owens is one of the most creative and ambitious musicians in the scene. Sure, his removal from Chiodos probably still disappoints fans, but let’s face it, that band was holding back Owens' creativity. Isles & Glaciers, along with Jonny Craig, the Fuentes brothers and crew, is the grandiose sound Owens has been striving for. The Hearts of Lonely People EP makes me wish that Owens and Craig would just drop what they are doing and create a full-time band together. Their luscious harmonies are what make this EP what it is; their voices distract you from the above average-to-average song structures and encompass your ears. The Hearts of Lonely People EP truly is one of a kind, thanks in large part to the vocals. Really, there is no other band out in the scene right now that is like Isles & Glaciers. It’s shame that this might be the only material we ever get from this group.

[aradiantsunrise]

Pretty good EP. I feel like it could have been a lot better though.

[Argentine]

I'm just here before the Anti Craig federation shows up.

[*Ro']

Pretty good EP. I feel like it could have been a lot better though.
Clearly.

[cereal4life]

Can you think of any soundalikes, Drew?

[xapplexpiex]

Finally! This was supposed to come out last March. I'm deff picking this up. I know this will get a ton of hate on this site, but whatever. I like it :shrug:

[ChelseaRiane]

I wish they would make more music and show their real potential

[JuneJuly]

Can you think of any soundalikes, Drew?

Chiodos, Pierce the Veil, and Emarosa?

jk


Also, anyone know how much this is on iTunes? I have the demos and I liked them, I'm going to have to check this out.

[Viva Sonata]

The new tracks disappointed me - the full ones, not the instrumentals. Those were so sick. But I still enjoy most of this record.

[Juneau_87]

It was a disappointment in the sense that it was an over a year wait for two new songs. The material itself is great but.

[CH!MP]

the new tracks were a bit of a let down, but overall its a decent EP. As mentioned, song structure, and instrumentals in general, could have been better.

[themodernelite]

no mention of "viola lion?" jonny kills that track.

[Ricketts]

I've been listening to this on a loop for a week. I completely agree with this sentence, "Craig really shines here as well. In fact, this might be the strongest Craig’s voice has ever been." I thought the same thing on my first listen :) Good stuff. Great review.

[oshyjay]

Need to pick this up, I've been wanting it ever since I saw their live show last year.

[Kgod]

Can't stop listening to this ep. Love the contrast in vocals.

[theintention]

i love vic's voice on this ep. also kinda disappointing that i had only not heard 2 songs before its release.


but clush makes me dance.

[FaceLixeMurder]

Pretty good EP. I feel like it could have been a lot better though.
Agreed

[amandais4lovers]

Love this.

[bluecrunchy]

This is pretty solid musically, but the vocals make my ears hurt.

[thechetearly]

1st record i've actually bought this year.

and it's SO amazing. super impressed.

[Gloryneverfades]

This is a very solid EP

[Drow Swordsman]

If Vic didn't sing on this record, I'd be pretty okay with that. Lyrics could also be a bit less generic ("step one tell me what have I done, step two you know you better believe, step three you'll never be like me so da da da da da da doo doo", seriously?). Other than that, definitely enjoying this EP. Intro+Hills Like White Elephants are my favorite two tracks.

[TellYourFriends]

Other than that, definitely enjoying this EP. Intro+Hills Like White Elephants are my favorite two tracks.I actually like that part... even if it doesn't make much sense. Haha

I really like this EP. It's fun for what it is.

[xName Takenx]

"...here give a glimpse of how good this project could be if the band members were able to dedicate more time to it."


This is why people need to stop being so disappointed.

[a nocturnal day]

I think they deserve a lot of credit being that it was recorded in ten days. And no "Viola Lion"? You skipped the best track lol. Also is Jonny Craig really a baritone? I'm pretty should he's a counter-tenor or something along those lines, he does have a high voice...

[AMackChuck]

I can't stop listening! One of the best releases of the year so far :)
There really hasn't been anything released so far. Pretty stale 2010, get on yo game.

[brent_ster]

Pretty good EP. I feel like it could have been a lot better though.
It was written and recorded in like 10 or 12 days, and its damn amazing for that fact

[Gregory Robson]

Need to pick this up, I've been wanting it ever since I saw their live show last year.
Your avatar rules. Derek Webb is phenomenal. You have impeccable taste.

[Gregory Robson]

Hideous cover art by the way. Absolutely effin' hideous.

[HometownHero]

Generous

[sevinw0rds]

I love this EP as a whole , but sometimes I just spin that one song three or four times cause the verses give me chills.

[Meeze]

There really hasn't been anything released so far. Pretty stale 2010, get on yo game.
Vampire Weekend, You Me At Six, The Soft Pack, The Rocket Summer, Portugal. The Man, Motion City Soundtrack, Jeff Martin & Steven Padin, I Can Make A Mess, Hot Chip, Four Year Strong, Fair, Eagle Scout, The Dilleinger Escape Plan, Butch Walker, The Bled, and The Audition ALL released music this year so far. I'd argue that 2010 has been pretty rad so far.

[donwagenblast]

Its hard to keep up with this review because you say Craig and I never know whether you're referring to Craig Owens or Jonny Craig haha

[Drew Beringer]

I think his voice varies throughout, he definitely more of a counter tenor the more I think about it

[Drew Beringer]

Its hard to keep up with this review because you say Craig and I never know whether you're referring to Craig Owens or Jonny Craig haha
I always use last names.

[Mibabalou]

decent

[radashlee]

loveee it.

[Broclee]

The Sound of Animals Fighting > United Nations > This.

That being said, I really enjoyed the EP.

[superBMRuth]

this album would be perfect if Vic just played guitar. No offense to the guy, but I just can't stand his voice and it takes away from the flow of the songs.

[superBMRuth]

also, Jonny Craig and Craig Owens SHOULD start their own band and call it Jonny Craig Owens

[themodernelite]

I love this EP as a whole , but sometimes I just spin that one song three or four times cause the verses give me chills.
same! i find the chorus really powerful too.

[YoungSavage]

no mention of "viola lion?" jonny kills that track.
My thoughts exactly, almost every review I've read they have neglected to mention "Viola Lion" which I think is by far the standout track of the album. I know people are disappointed in the length and some other things but you have to keep in mind that some of these guys never worked together before and they had ten days to finish writing and then record all these songs.

Emarosa, PTV and Craig all have albums coming out this year if they don't all do a tour with I&G closing it will be a crime against humanity.

[Trashcore]

Its hard to keep up with this review because you say Craig and I never know whether you're referring to Craig Owens or Jonny Craig haha
Came here to say this. Also, you said the title wrong at the end. You called it the lonely hearts of people.

[Loveisa4lttrwrd]

I always use last names.
You typed the title of the EP backwards in the last paragraph :]

[Steiny29]

The Hearts of Lonely People EP makes me wish that Owens and Craig would just drop what they are doing and create a full-time band together.

Aside from getting the name of the ep wrong, I 100% agree with this statement. One of the first things I thought after listening to the ep for the first time

[sevinw0rds]

same! i find the chorus really powerful too.
Totally, the whole thing is incredibly well done. I just find the musical structure of the verses to be really creative, and coupled with the singing? Wow. Haha

[Drew Beringer]

You typed the title of the EP backwards in the last paragraph :]

Haha blah for some reason I had issues remembering the correct title. Fixed

[Drew Beringer]

I love Viola Lion, it just didn't fit into the flow of my review

[ZachMadeMeOdd]

no mention of "viola lion?" jonny kills that track.
That's the only song I can tolerate. They were trying to do so much on this album and it came out a mess and really bad sounding in my opinion. This review also seemed a little biased towards Owens nut sack. "The fact is Craig Owens is one of the most creative and ambitious musicians in the scene."

Ya royyyt.

[Greg.Kushlan]

I wasn't impressed by this at all. The music just didn't seem to be too interesting to me. Get rid of the Fuentes Brothers, and Craig. Nick screaming with Johnny Craig singing would be good.

[mvbead]

i thought it got so boring by the end of the cd. thought this was gonna be epic. it's not at all.

[donwagenblast]

I always use last names.
Thanks for clearing that up!

[gladnads]

I can feel the angst just from the title.

[Keagan Ilvonen]

Decent EP at best. Could have been a lot better. Doesn't mean I don't love Craig though.

[Drew Beringer]

If the guys could spend more than 12 days writing and recording a record, it would be insanely great. Basically, as I said in the review, this EP is more of an impressive display of vocals from Craig Owens and Jonny Craig. The music is decent, and there are some good structures, but it's not the focal point.

I also still don't understand the hate for Craig Owens, amazing singer.

[Clark]

Why the hell is Vic Fuentes singing on this album? They have Craig Owens and Jonny Craig! Two of the best vocalists of the "scene." Every time I hear his nasally vocals I literally get angry.

Other than that, it's a solid EP. I would love to get a full-length album from them (with only Owens and Craig singing).

Sure, his removal from Chiodos probably still disappoints fans, but let’s face it, that band was holding Owens back creativity Sense no makes.

[the seventeenth]

Quoted: "The fact is Craig Owens is one of the most creative and ambitious musicians in the scene. Sure, his removal from Chiodos probably still disappoints fans, but let’s face it, that band was holding Owens back creativity."
Shouldn't that be 'Owens creativity back'?

[the seventeenth]

Great review for a great band, Drew.
Sort of bummed there was no mention for "Viola Lion'.

[JayBee420]

also, Jonny Craig and Craig Owens SHOULD start their own band and call it Jonny Craig Owens

OOOOR... Agrocraig! Hahaha.

[Nate Bennett]

I love this EP. So much. Empty Sighs and Wine is my favorite. Cemetery Weather's cool too.
Oh, and all the other songs too.

it was supposed to be creatively lol

[Echo Park]

this ep sucked. not like as bad as Brand New's Daisy or New Again, but sucked compared to Downtown Battle Mountain=)

[ghsNICK!]

Solid EP

[Echo Park]

The Hearts of Lonely People EP truly is one of a kind, thanks in large part to the vocals. Really, there is no other band out in the scene right now that is like Isles & Glaciers. It’s shame that this might be the only material we ever get from this group.

guys seriously if you haven't yet, listen to old Dance Gavin Dance album Downtown Battle Mountain. It trumps the hell outta this and all other albums in the scene.

[lurker411_k9]

Maaaaan, I love Craig Owens, but I can't stand Jonny Craig or Vic Fuentes. I might check this out.

[bamamitch]

I also still don't understand the hate for Craig Owens, amazing singer.

I totally agree with this. I'm very pleased at the lack of Owens-hate on these responses. Dude is extremely talented at both singing and screaming.

[11:11]

EP of the year for me.

[Stavie Steelo]

EP is awesome hope they put more stuff out but I doubt it is going to happen.

[RiCCioLi]

I have this and have only listen to it like 3 times all the way through. I really need to spend more time on it. Its kind of boring a bit, but def not horrible

[Lappin!]

Where can i find this?!

[TellYourFriends]

Where can i find this?! I think only at Hot Topic and online.

[fanberlinboy]

Jonny Craig... baritone...?

[Thomas Nassiff]

i think this EP is incredible. the three voices mesh together in a way that i don't think they even knew would happen. i missed craig's voice being like this, belting stuff out with the occasional scream. his range is incredible and it's really just sad that he doesn't have chiodos to let that out anymore. hopefully he'll find a way to continue this project or find some other guys so that his voice can keep being heard. i don't think he can stay quiet for long.

[Thomas Nassiff]

Sense no makes.
his voice complements so nicely, i think. it's best used as one-liners i think, just eventually hearing it underneath the the rest of the fucking beauty.

[Sherrice]

I feel because I had three of the seven songs already this didn't live up to what I wanted it to be. But I did enjoy Viola Lion and Cemetery Weather so I guess the EP's good.

[barkingincision]

Jonny Craig... baritone...?
that's what i was thinking.
i think im going to do my own review of this ep, i felt it was lacking in many departments. cemetary weather is easily the best song on here, vocally, and instrumentally. the other songs all sounded like watered-down chiodos riffs, very generic, and the production on this record was mostly suckage. casey bates is very overrated IMO.

[InBetweenAisles]

I really enjoyed reading this review. This EP was very impressive. I liked it a lot.

[ChelseaRiane]

Craig tweeted about this. Sorry if thats been mentioned

[rawspinner]

Your avatar rules. Derek Webb is phenomenal. You have impeccable taste.

Two questions:

1) did you pick up his free music giveaway?
2) were you ever a casting crowns fan?

[Jack Appleby]

I still say Southall made this record great.

Someone give that guy a job.

[MTGenocyde]

I'm just here before the Anti Craig federation shows up.

Word

[Clark]

his voice complements so nicely, i think. it's best used as one-liners i think, just eventually hearing it underneath the the rest of the fucking beauty.
In some songs, when he doesn't sing many lines or just sings background vocals, it works. But, in "Cemetery Weather," for example...

[phillipjacob]

such a teaser ep to think if everyone had the time to create a full album.

the plethora of talent amassed here, not just vocally but musically as well
is almost overwhelming.

i really dig the ep though

[truth or dare]

Ep is pretty good
Brian Southall does the programming n keyboard crap, not guitar

1 Lyrics could also be a bit less generic ("step one tell me what have I done, step two you know you better believe, step three you'll never be like me so da da da da da da doo doo).
that part rules

[Ryan Gardner]

Good review; I've been loving this EP.

[jenovaproject]

but let’s face it, that band was holding back Owens' creativity

Chiodos has more musical talent than Craig will ever have.

[vivatoto56]

I agree that Viola Lion should be mentioned. I've always liked Craig Owens more than Jonny until I heard that song.

[brandon_260]

Really great EP, I really hope they don't do the same as CinSun and stop making music before a full length, cause that was truly disappointing. Really should have been something said about Viola Lion, the song really shows great vocal tallent

[ohh lee]

no mention of "viola lion?" jonny kills that track.


Haha seriously. Such a good song.

[llclamping]

finally a non-overbearing recent jonny craig project!!! haha im digging it though. i thought vic was pretty good on the album, he does alright in the background. i really wish craig screamed more though, hes so good

[Dystroxia]

guys seriously if you haven't yet, listen to old Dance Gavin Dance album Downtown Battle Mountain. It trumps the hell outta this and all other albums in the scene.
I love that album.

Seriously miss Jonny's voice on that album.

[Dystroxia]

Chiodos has more musical talent than Craig will ever have.
Definitely not true.

Craig Owens was the reason Chiodos got recognized.

[jay_klinkhammer]

Chiodos has more musical talent than Craig will ever have.
lol. I love you for your Oh Sleeper avatar...but seriously? anything Jonny touched > Chiodos.

[Thomas Nassiff]

In some songs, when he doesn't sing many lines or just sings background vocals, it works. But, in "Cemetery Weather," for example...
i can see where you're coming from there.

[Juan Jose]

vic's voice was annoying as fuck, thats the only negative about this

[You Won't Know]

Yeah, this is pretty fucking impressive, to be honest.

Really wish there were more songs and maybe even some more aggressive parts, but that's alright. Very impressed with it.

[Burn_Burn_Burn]

I'm just gonna disagree with one little thing..
I thought Jonny's voice was the weakest of all the tracks on "Empty Sighs."
It was still ridiculously awesome..but it felt like he was struggling to hit some of the notes.
Anyone else notice this?

[jenovaproject]

Craig Owens was the reason the other members of Chiodos got recognized

recognition≠talent

[Gregory Robson]

Two questions:

1) did you pick up his free music giveaway?
2) were you ever a casting crowns fan?
I was unaware of his free music giveaway. Unless you're referring to his stuff on NoiseTrade, or the download of the unedited version of that one song.

As for Casting Crowns. They can do no wrong in my book. The more they keep making music, the more I will keep buying.

[Lappin!]

I think only at Hot Topic and online.
Cheers, I found it on mediafire (Y)

[orang3m3rk3]

i really like clush and viola lion...

[abellaw]

I really liked this EP..but I think I am in the minority as I really enjoy Fuentes voice throughout...I hope this isnt the last that we hear from this group...but given how long I waited for this release it just might be

[Broclee]

Um, it's going to be. Do you not follow the scene dramz?

[LipSyncdLyrics]

I was actually expecting a lower score for this. The lyrics make me cringe, and it's over cumbered with voices. Honestly, I thought this was new material from The Backstreet Boys when I first gave it a listen. I'm a sucker for Vic though, so I suppose I can't do much complaining.

The fuck?

[Dystroxia]

I know, I just wanted to point that out.

[Chuck!]

On the first listen I thought this was rather mediocre, but I've really come to love it

[Dm!tr! the !st]

No opinion on Viola Lion? i think it's the strongest track on the EP. Regardless I loved this. It would have been a little more worth the hype had it been released a year ago, since it was recorded at the end of 08... But I enjoy this greatly was worth the 16 dollars :)

[PengusNiugnep]

Vic's voice on HLWE >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Vic's voice in PTV. It kind of makes me anxious for new PTV haha. I'll listen to this later, but from the comments it sounds great.

[rawspinner]

Wait, so are you pretty into CCM then?
[EDIT] By that I mean Christian Contemporary Music.

[Gin]

Finally listend to their myspace-song and I kinda liked it from the first seconds.
Definitely have to check the rest of the album!

[Gregory Robson]

Wait, so are you pretty into CCM then?
[EDIT] By that I mean Christian Contemporary Music.
Of course I am. I was president of my school's Newman Center in college. Spent a summer in the seminary in 2000.

[chiggles]

This is a solid EP release.

[rawspinner]

Of course I am. I was president of my school's Newman Center in college. Spent a summer in the seminary in 2000.

Redonkiculous. That's crazy cool to know. Unfortunately, I think the only ones I really got into were Dc Talk and Audio Adrenaline when I was younger. Sometimes I wish I knew who Living Sacrifice and Project 86 were, too.

[Sargent Sausage]

Craig totally owns the chorus in Viola Lion

[jtyexists9]

Holy hell with the falsetto voices.

[ChelseaRiane]

Jonny's is the most tolerable, then Craig.

[NickMartin]

I was actually expecting a lower score for this. The lyrics make me cringe, and it's over cumbered with voices. Honestly, I thought this was new material from The Backstreet Boys when I first gave it a listen. I'm a sucker for Vic though, so I suppose I can't do much complaining.
thanks! <3

[ChelseaRiane]

Ohh Nick.... *sigh*

[tygodd89]

Chiodos, Pierce the Veil, and Emarosa?

jk


Also, anyone know how much this is on iTunes? I have the demos and I liked them, I'm going to have to check this out.
$6.93

[pr0digy]

Really wish they'd release an LP....it's definitely a guilty pleasure to listen to. I'm pretty hooked on the EP so far..

[garrettgrohman]

thanks! <3
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha holy shit i love you dude.

[Echo Park]

the songs really started to grow on me, ie Viola Lion and Cemetery Weather. Plus Hills was a decent song, thus 3/7 isn't bad. If it was a LP i would assume i would like two more songs. 5/12 is what i would classify a successful and good album.

[You Won't Know]

thanks! <3
Nick, fuck that person. I love the work you guys did on this record... and I'm pretty sure damn near every one else who's giving it a fair listen enjoys it as well.

More importantly, how about you guys put together a little mini-tour or do something more than a one-off show at SXSW?
What are the odds of that or maybe even more recorded songs/another EP?

[hailjake]

for being a super band youd think the recording qaulity would be alottt better

[NateFoundGlory]

If this were a 12 song full length, it'd easily be a contender for album of the year for me. But 7 songs, two of which are interludes? Eh. Still a great ep however.

[dabowd]

"The fact is Craig Owens is one of the most creative and ambitious musicians in the scene."

easy on the hyperbole there fella.

[flavoredrums]

This was definitely a lot better than I was expecting. I don't even understand why I thought that this wouldn't work.

[abellaw]

I definitely enjoy this EP, but for some reason i feel like it is a guilty pleasure. Maybe its my fanboyism??

[Echo Park]

I like Vic's part the most. His voice stands out the most, and he absolutely kills it in Cemetery Weather and Viola Lion.

[ryanwilcox]

i wish this had more songs

[ChelseaRiane]

i wish this had more songs
Agreed!

[symbiote28]

is there any other store to buy this EP other than hot topic, merchnow or itunes ?

[Dystroxia]

is there any other store to buy this EP other than hot topic, merchnow or itunes ?
A store that sells CD's?

[symbiote28]

A store that sells CD's?
erm, i meant online of course.

[Dystroxia]

erm, i meant online of course.
Oh, gotcha.

Try Best Buy, they have a ton load of CD's.

[CheckeredFloors]

The metal xylophone/glockenspiel thing in Viola Lion sounds a lot like the intro to the TV show Skins.

[JustinSxE]

I loved it. These guys are really talented. I want to see them live, really, really bad.

[eatbabiesyum]

awesome ep, really hoping for more from them

[the Savage]

Does anyone know where I can find official/accurate lyrics for the EP? I can tell most of them by ear, but all of the lyrics websites have different lyrics in certain parts that are most definitely wrong.

[Krazycev13]

not really a fan of this EP. "Empty Sighs and Wine" and "Cemetery Weather" are the only songs i could get into. "Hills Like White Elephants" was ehh.

[slowmotion90]

also, Jonny Craig and Craig Owens SHOULD start their own band and call it Jonny Craig Owens

haha this. But i dont want to see emarosa break up.

[glEnntropy]

Would have been much better if they hadn't released 3/5 of the songs with lyrics before hand. I still love this CD, but really? I wish they would make a follow-up.

[lp670sv]

I wasn't impressed by this at all. The music just didn't seem to be too interesting to me. Get rid of the Fuentes Brothers, and Craig. Nick screaming with Johnny Craig singing would be good.
so you want DGD basically?
