Bio / Background
The Paper Airplane Pilots' sophomore effort "Western Automatic Music" finds the band navigating even higher altitudes and broader landscapes, taking the listener to a breathtaking apex of melodic power pop and harkening back to the golden age of bands such as Big Star, Cheap Trick, Shoes and the Raspberries.
The ten songs within deliver not just only great hooks, incisive lyrics and unique arrangements that made their debut a fan favorite, but also a contain literate depth and sonic cohesion that is sure to make this second album a true power pop hallmark. All of the expected faster paced rockers are here, from the straight-ahead punk of "I'm Breaking Up" to the tongue-in cheek send up "Big Disappointment" and perennial live favorite "The Way it Goes." But other songs such as opener "She Is A Ghost" and album centerpiece "Old Haunts" find the band not afraid to stretch out their wings and let the music soar beyond conventional structure and pre-conceived boundaries.
