Airship

I almost forgot I saw these guys at a Manchester after-party last October until reading a review today about them as an opener to the likes of Frightened Rabbit. Eager to hear more than just their lone 4-track EP...

"Theirs is a sound that is varied; in places reminiscent of alternative rock act Pixies, in others the more delicate leanings of Radiohead with the finishing touch of a refreshing dose of experimentation in the form of epic, spacey breakdowns."

it strikes me that there's good fragments of melody and something hooky in their guitar chords, as opposed to just strictly driving rhythms. I think this is key to the sorts of things I'm drawn to.

I really like both those songs. They remind me more of Longwave than the Pixies.
