Short bursts of fury. Distortion. Full-throttled vocals and falsetto charm, sung with intense abandon. Incredibly compact songs that pack more wallop into two minutes than most bands can manage in a year, leaving listeners panting for more. Heavier Than Air Flying Machines — aka Jeremy Pyne, Jaymes Pyne and Trevor Goldner — has become a West Michigan noise-rock phenomenon with music that hints at the innovativeness of The Pixies and Modest Mouse, but louder. Much louder.
And who wouldn’t love these song titles: “Impending Catastrophe Averted,” “Ominous Albatross,” “Soliloquy from the Dyson Sphere,” “Genetically Modified Offspring,” “A Stoic Australopithecine”? Those alone are worth reading again and again.
