Private Airplane

Columbus, OH project featuring members of Times New Viking and 84 Nash, mining a rich fuzzy rock/pop vein that is perhaps better known as Guided By Voices territory. There's not a ton of variation, but the fuzzy riffs and short fragmented songs keep flying by until you realize that you're completely hooked.


1. med(+), quick poppy rocker to set the stage
2. med, cold end!, gently rock
3. med+, somewhere to go that can't be defined
4. med(-), stripped down palate cleanser
5. med, coulda been a GBV cover
6. * med(+), falls closer to 90s pop like Matthew Sweet or Velvet Crush
7. * med, some unexpected vocal harmonizing
8. med(+), another classic GBV melody fragment
9. * med(+), includes an actual guitar solo in addition to the fuzzy riffage
10. med(+), some guitar noodling in the bridge; sudden end with fading burble into...
11. med(-), fragment rather than song
12. * med(+), slightly melancholy with a faint Replacements feel
13. builds to med-, can't put my finger on it
14. dn(+), totally apes Pollard's faux-brit vocals
15. med, average rocker, last 10-15 seconds are a scavenged answering machine message
