| 4.5 superb | Mikesn EMERITUS | August 27th 08 |
It's been seven years since Experimental Aircraft released their sophomore album, but the Texan quartet has hardly missed a beat. The brand of shoegaze featured on the band's third LP, Third Transmission: Meet Me on Echo Echo Terrace is hardly a groundbreaking endeavour, but the record is a superb effort all the same. The album's backbone is a constant buzz of distortion that creates a hazy, yet endearing atmosphere; accented by the ethereal talents of vocalist Rachel Staggs, and the sparse, yet effective passages of clean guitar, Third Transmission simply makes for a beautiful listen. Guitarist T.J. O'Leary adds his own voice to some of the more straightforward rock tracks which gives the album some diversity, but the real story behind Third Transmission lies in the dreamy atmospheres created in the likes of "Paintings in the Attic", "Stellar", and "Remembrance". Third Transmission: Meet Me on Echo Echo Terrace is only Experimental Aircraft's third release in eleven years, but it is the band's most engaging thus far, and easily one of the year's strongest records.

Their music reminds me of old Alan Parson's Project albums. It's great mood music. 'Nother thing, they're from Texas...so am I, so props to the home crowd and band! Great CD.
