Islet are a Welsh band formed in Cardiff in 2009.[1][2] They are known for their experimental, genre-defying sound and energetic live shows. Their music takes in elements of experimental rock,[3] psychedelic pop,[4] no wave,[5] krautrock[6] and post-punk.[7]
They have been shortlisted for the Welsh Music Prize twice: in 2012, for Illuminated People,[8] and in 2020, for Eyelet.[9] Islet have released four studio albums and four EPs.
