Expect exactly what you read as GOOD WEATHER FOR AIRSTRIKES bring their listeners one of the most heartfelt releases to grace a set of speakers. It owns one hell of a mouthful of an album title, so the emotional music that follows feels like a bit of inevitability – but not on any level are you expecting to listen to such beautiful lyrics on a spectrum held so closely to the bands personal experiences.
GOOD WEATHER FOR AIRSTRIKES have travelled leaps and bounds away from any usual release and put together something to be really proud of. The album has countless moments of hypnotising instrumental delight, that welcome the arrival of exceptional vocal parts tucked in where needed. Throughout the album’s entirety the band send the listener through various mood swings and indefinitely sinking into the band’s technical and well developed sound.
An outfit of modern indie stature deliver ‘to have our hearts emptied, to be left as we came’ with a post rock dynamic that keeps you listening for its full 46 minutes and, unsurprisingly thereafter, you will be leaning toward the repeat button.
