Our Take

DOWNPILOT, the enigmatic musical project led by frontman Paul Hiraga, has consistently defied categorisation throughout their musical career. Their latest release, "This Is The Sound", is no exception, offering a delightful mix of indie rock, folk, and Americana influences that come together to create a truly unique sonic experience.

From the opening track, "Sunset Gun", it's clear that DOWNPILOT are not interested in following any conventional musical trends. The song starts off with a catchy guitar riff before Hiraga's emotive vocals kick in, drawing the listener in with its introspective lyrics and infectious melodies.

As the album progresses, tracks like "Blood on the Road" and "Trouble" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend intricate instrumentation with poignant storytelling. The lush arrangements and subtle harmonies create a rich tapestry of sound that is both immersive and captivating.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Ghost of a Tiger", a haunting ballad that sees Hiraga's vocals soar over a backdrop of swirling guitars and lush orchestration. The song is a masterclass in songwriting, with its evocative lyrics and soaring chorus leaving a lasting impact on the listener.

Overall, "This Is The Sound" is a triumph for DOWNPILOT, showcasing their talent for crafting intricate, captivating music that defies easy categorisation. With its evocative lyrics, lush arrangements, and infectious melodies, this album is sure to delight fans both old and new. So sit back, relax, and let DOWNPILOT take you on a musical journey unlike any other.
