INFO
Aeroplane's eagerly an ticipated debut album, We Can't Fly, arrives with sky-high hopes. The Belgian du o with Italian roots established themselves as party-starting DJs, remixers du j our -with their spacious cosmic-disco re-rubs of Grace Jones (William's Blood), Friendly Fires (Pairs), Sebastien Tellier (Kilometer) and as leaders of the nu-d isco and Balearica scene. Having amicably parted company with his band mate Step hen Fasano, Vito De Luca continues Aeroplane as a one-man operation.
Recorded in Toulouse, Paris, London & Los Angeles and co-produced by Bertrand Burgalat, We Can't Fly is a grown up, dazzlingly accomplished album th at showcases not just a passion for stately, soulful disco and early 80s electro nica, but a lush and bittersweet set of influences that stretch from Abba and fi lm soundtracks to Floyd, the Stones and Italian crooners. This melting pot provi des the backdrop to Aeroplane's 21st century take on balearic house.
Flying solo has given Vito the chance to flex his classically traine d musical muscles: Take We Can't Fly, the languid, show stopping anthem-to-be wi th which Aeroplane kicked off their landmark 500th Radio 1 Essential Mix at Circ us in Liverpool earlier this year. It's going to sound rapturous live, when Vito and an expanded on-stage line-up play Aeroplane's first dates later this year.
The widescreen, string-splashed Mountains of Moscow is th e soundtrack to the best Eighties blockbuster you've never seen, while London Br idge and Point of No Return are mini-epics of spiralling Floydian guitar riffs a nd plaintive Tangerine Dream synths.
Another mighty inspi ration was Giorgio Moroder, whose gleaming electronic scores for Scarface and Mi dnight Express fed into the vintage disco stylings of My Enemy and the propulsiv e, piano-led Superstar, which Vito describes as "Moroder meets Canned Heat". The latter features vocoder vocals from Vito himself, but Moroder was so impressed that he has already laid down the vocals for an alternative version of the track , which will be released later in the year.
Moroder wasn' t the only one of Vito's heroes to be recruited. The raucous, razor-blade rock o f I Don't Feel features the formidable vocals of Merry Clayton, who backed Jagge r on Vito's favourite Stones song, Gimme Shelter. The roster of guest singers is impeccable. Nicolas Ker, the frontman of French italo-disco outfit Poni Hoax, a dds a sullen elan to Fish in the Sky, an electro torch song worthy of Human Leag ue, while dream-pop outfit Au Revoir Simone breathe delicate harmonies over the woozy ballad We Fall Over, and London's Jonathan Jeremiah transforms Good Riddan ce into a low-slung slice of honky-tonk soul. Perhaps the most ear-catching turn comes from the precocious LA teen-vixen Sky Ferreira on Without Lies, a cover o f a song by the Belgian screen star Marie Gillain.
We Can 't Fly, promises to take Aeroplane's passengers on a first class, round-trip of electronic psychedelia.
Aeroplane will be DJ'ing all over the world this summer including numerous slots at Ibiza.
