I’m An Island is the dream pop / psychedelia solo project of New Orleans native and recent Nashville transplant J. Gardner — a talented multi-instrumentalist, singer/songwriter, and food truck entrepreneur with a charming southern accent.

His debut EP Crown Jewel, out now, features delicate guitars, sombre ambience, and wholesome instrumentation, with hints of inspiration from Youth Lagoon, Devendra Banhart, and Chad VanGaalen.

Watch the psychedelic, chilled out, rather lovely video for Passion Phruit, and stream the title track below.
