INFO
Aeroplane's eagerly anticipated debut album, We Can't Fly, arrives with sky-high hopes. The Belgian duo with Italian roots established themselves as party-starting DJs, remixers du jour -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-disco and Balear ica scene. Having amicably parted company with his band mate Stephen Fasano, Vit o De Luca continues Aeroplane as a one-man operation.
Recorded in Tou louse, Paris, London & Los Angeles and co-produced by Bertrand Burgalat, We Can' t Fly is a grown up, dazzlingly accomplished album that showcases not just a pas sion for stately, soulful disco and early 80s electronica, but a lush and bitter sweet set of influences that stretch from Abba and film soundtracks to Floyd, th e Stones and Italian crooners. This melting pot provides the backdrop to Aeropla ne's 21st century take on balearic house.
Flying solo has given Vito the chance to flex his classically trained musical muscles: Take We Can't Fly, t he languid, show stopping anthem-to-be with which Aeroplane kicked off their lan dmark 500th Radio 1 Essential Mix at Circus 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-splas hed Mountains of Moscow is the soundtrack to the best Eighties blockbuster you'v e never seen, while London Bridge and Point of No Return are mini-epics of spira lling Floydian guitar riffs and plaintive Tangerine Dream synths.
Ano ther mighty inspiration was Giorgio Moroder, whose gleaming electronic scores fo r Scarface and Midnight Express fed into the vintage disco stylings of My Enemy and the propulsive, 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 ver sion 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 r ock of I Don't Feel features the formidable vocals of Merry Clayton, who backed Jagger on Vito's favourite Stones song, Gimme Shelter. The roster of guest singe rs is impeccable. Nicolas Ker, the frontman of French italo-disco outfit Poni Ho ax, adds a sullen elan to Fish in the Sky, an electro torch song worthy of Human League, while dream-pop outfit Au Revoir Simone breathe delicate harmonies over the woozy ballad We Fall Over, and London's Jonathan Jeremiah transforms Good R iddance 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 co ver of 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 electro nic psychedelia.
