Today on the blog we feature the second single lifted from Darts’ forthcoming debut album Below Empty & Westward Bound, this one is titled ‘Aeroplane’ and it comes with a seriously creepy Timothy Casten directed video to get you in the mood. Taking on a more polished sound than on the previously featured ‘Westward Bound’, the Melbourne outfit evoke sonic flasbacks to the earlier Modest Mouse material on Aeroplane, and manage to take a song about comfort and underscore it with a lingering sense of anxiety. Speaking on the song, Ally from the band noted: “When we were kids, the relationships we formed were not limited by a common ground we use as adults. You knew exactly where you stood, and that allowed for some of the best friendships of your life to form. This song is about that.”
