Welsh quintet People In Planes have announced the twelve song track listing of their upcoming Wind-up Records release BEYOND THE HORIZON. In order, the songs are “Last Man Standing,” “Mayday (M’aidez),” Get on the Flaw,” “Pretty Buildings,” “Better Than Life,” “Flesh and Blood,” “Beyond the Horizon,” “Know by Now,” “Tonight the Sun Will Rise,” “I Wish You’d Fall Apart,” “Vampire,” and “Evil With You.” The second album displays People In Planes’ intuition for making diverse music in its very essence as they worked with four producers in seven different studios across America, England and Wales in a quest to create something musically and sonically diverse. They succeeded, through the counterbalance of producers which included Our Lady Peace frontman Raine Maida, Queens of The Stone Age collaborators ‘Eleven,’ Panic At The Disco producer Matt Squire and Doves / Massive Attack producer Dan Austin, who they had worked with on the early demos for their debut AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE.
Months ago, the quintet shared “Pretty Buildings,” as a first offering from these numerous sessions. The track, available at digital retailers, while being posted on blogs across the Internet, was received with raves from dozens of tastemakers, and thousands of fans. Newsweek exclaimed, “This ballad, rich in melody with strong, searching lyrics, shows why this group is one to watch.” The first single from BEYOND THE HORIZON “Mayday (M’aidez)” will be available via iTunes on May 6, bundled with “Last Man Standing” and a video of “Pretty Buildings.” That clip, which originally premiered on Pure Volume, can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp-Wg0njn7Y.
People In Planes began a North American tour in front of BEYOND THE HORIZON at SXSW in March. This excursion will continue for the foreseeable future as the band continues to preview the material from the upcoming album. Guitarist Peter Roberts offered, “Touring for Beyond The Horizon has felt like a re-birth in as much as we’ve spent a year fine tuning the record, and consequently every chord change feels like a special one! The dynamic of the band is now even vaster in the lead vocals being a two-pronged attack, arrangements and sonic capabilities are even grander, but essentially song wise – people are already singing every word of our first Internet release ‘Pretty Buildings’. Thank God for the web.”
