Review - People In Planes - Last Man Standing (Single)

People In Planes - Last Man Standing (Single)

9 out of 10

Listening to this makes me want to go and see this band live to see how much stage space the pedal boards take up.

Nothing short of brilliant this is the kind of music that really appeals to me. I love nothing more than bands that can employ a multitude of sounds, instruments and effects without just creating a nonsensical racket. Think, Aereogramme, 65 Days of Static and Biffy Clyro all rolled into one with a sprinkling of American alt-rock.

A really well produced song that is so good you find yourself overlooking all the individual components that make it amazing until you go out of your way to listen to things like the stupendous drumming.

If, like me, you see music as more of a landscape of sound over which to let your mind ramble rather than just notes and melody charging their way out of your speakers, then this band will leave you feeling as if you've trekked to Mordor and back. Challenge yourself to listen and you will be rewarded!
