2006 release from this long time Not Lame fave. After their excellent, very popular debut, The History Of Flying, Paper Airplane Pilots return with their follow up and do not disappoint! What is it so many power pop fans are constantly searching for? Why, it`s a band like the Paper Airplane Pilots with right combination of harmonies, the right batch of chords, a keener sense of melody than the rest, and the quirky sensibility to give it a leg up on most pop bands. Western Automatic Music sounds like Wilco gone pop in parts, The Figgs, The Gentlemen, Barely Pink or, if you want to get wacky, The Churchills doing Guided By Voices or Pavement. Paper Airplane Pilots have a arousing spirit of classic power pop mixed with a strong melodic brassiness, colorful, atoning, big pay-off hooks that breathe life into these crisp, richly produced tunes all over the record. "The band manages to touch base with nearly every important feature of power pop music over the last 40 years. Amazingly, they manage to do so without descending into any of the genre`s most troublesome cliches."-CosmikDebris. Paper Airplane Pilots second album is simply a high-charged, joyous tune-fest. Why? Listen, but the sugary, soaring subversive melodies, rich, unusual guitar tones and refreshingly different approach to the many sub-texts of the power pop genre make it live up to expectations. Extremely Highly Recommended!
