Troika CD (2008)
 $16.45
The music always starts as Andrew Geller’s acoustic songs. “True South” was featured in the PBS documentary “The Education of Shelby Knox” and “Flying Under Cheap Kites” then known simply as “Fuck” made it on the NY Noise Compilation and the video was in rotation on channel 25. Songs are written, arranged, adored and often destroyed. The Isles is a group that’s had over a dozen members but never more than four at once. The first full length, "Perfumed Lands" was also recorded at AJ and took eight months of hard labor. Many pieces come back and songs coalesce from ideas years apart but inseparable in theme. The band toured for a month in Europe and was interviewed live on the BBC by Phil Jupitus. The singing rhythmic and crooned counters the starkly composed music. The songs were featured on various compilations, The Eve of the Battle video made it to MTV Europe and “Perfumed Lands” made the radio charts. The house stands in Long Island City and has hosted dozens of cultural events and rock shows including: Japanther, Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson, Au Revoir Simone, Jeff Louis… The name comes from the address (Jackson Ave) and the late 80’s super action movie starring Carl Weathers (Action Jackson). The words have a dreamlike quality and a poetic bounce. Upon release on Melodic Records, “Perfumed Lands” was praised by major publications such as "The Guardian", "Magnet" and "NME". The basement became known as the dungeon and tempers ran hot. The first release, "Back to Terrific"(EP), was recorded in the basement of AJ and released on Binder records in 2005. Most of the recording has been in the dark, dingy basement of their headquarters, Action Jackson. Sometimes fairytales. The lyrics are observations.

Perfumed Lands CD (2006)
$12.59
Unlike so many bands of the '90s and early 2000s inspired by and sounding like the Smiths who embarrass themselves with faux-Anglo accents, goofy lyrics, and dated production, the Isles have crafted a strong, slow-burning grower for their debut. Album

Summer Loans (2007)
 $10.09
'Summer Loans' has an unmistakably East Coast groove but such an intrinsically familiar tapestry of woven guitar parts and vocal melody.
