Good God, how I loved the Scottish band Aereogramme and I feel very, very fortunate to have had the opportunity to see them once back in 2003. They never made it through Ohio on their farewell tour in 2007 and while bands like The Twilight Sad have helped fill the void for me, nothing will top Aereogramme in their prime. The good great news is that Aereogramme’s Craig B (vocals/guitar) and Iain Cook (guitar/programming) seem to be in the infancy of a new project – The Unwinding Hours – and have posted their very first demo track, “Solstice”, up on their MySpace page. It’s not as noisy/loud as Aereogramme was but keep in mind this is just a first taste of hopefully many, many more tracks to come.
To remind you (or introduce you) of the glory that was Aereogramme, check out the video for “Indiscretion #243” from their 2003 album, Sleep and Release.
