Aviator Lane make music in Adelaide, South Australia. Between 2005 and 2009, they have released two EPs and one full length album. You can find these releases at their website, over to your left. Here's what people have had to say about their debut album, Common Distance:
“A quietly effective debut … The band skilfully mesh electronics, guitars and indie pop in a hushed, tasteful manner. *** ” Rave Magazine, June 2009.
“‘Common Distance’, the debut album from locals Aviator Lane, is a dramatic, occasionally sombre, and mostly serious one. It’s also very good, combining a number of disparate genres and tying them together with a strong sense of lyricism and structure.” dB Magazine, June 2009.
“Everything is as pretty as possible with Aviator Lane. Treated guitars glisten with hazy hues, drums and electronic percussion bubble like champagne, and bass lines tug it all along without ever getting in the way.” Mess + Noise, June 2009.
“There's tightness and welterweight muscularity to their sound that seems to be the hallmark of many great three-pieces … 'Common Distance' regularly glistens with tender guitars and carefully stroked snares - it's often captivating stuff and you can almost see the Flinders Ranges glistening in the distance.” Scene Magazine, July 2009.
“It is easy to admire the consistent quality of song writing throughout the album, an LP which we heartily recommend.” Pop Revue Express, (translation from French), June 2009.
“Although the formula remains basic (guitar/bass/drums backed by electronic beats and a sprinkle of keyboards), this evolution has led to a bigger sound, a wider scope of songs and a greater variety of ambiance … Aviator Lane’s strength lies in creating songs which are quintessentially conventional pop songs, but with complex and fascinating structures.” Autres Directions,(translation from French), June 2009.
At the moment new songs are being written and recorded for a second album. The album will be called Shore Parties.
