Aeroplane – We Can’t Fly
Aeroplane came crashing onto the scene with some phenomenal remixes of the likes of Grace Jones and Sebastien Tellier and their eagerly awaited debut album finally lands on September 6th in the shape of “We Can’t Fly”. The lead single of the same name set the bar high with it’s barrel loads of funk and the album won’t disappoint anyone expecting more of the same. Huge chunks of nu-disco goodness prevail throughout and some Brian May-esque guitar licks up the surrealness factor.
Taking influences from the likes of Giorgio Moroder and The Human League, it sounds like the soundtrack to the best 80′s movie that was never was. In a world full of musicians taking themselves too seriously, this album is simply a joy to listen to from start to finish – never afraid to plunge headfirst into synth operatics and wear it’s heart on it’s fairly psychedelic sleeve.
Various vocalists drop in to lend their own touch, most notable being Jonathan Jeremiah amazing vocal on “Good Riddance” but I personally prefer the instrumental outings, I’ve picked a couple of my favourites below but I highly recommend you pop along to your retailer of choice on the 6th of September and grab this chunk of musical gold.
