PEOPLE IN PLANES announce BEYOND THE HORIZON scheduled for release on JUNE 24, 2008.
Welsh quintet People In Planes have announced their upcoming Wind-up Records release Beyond The Horizon is due to hit on store shelves on June 24th.It is the second full length album from People In Planes’ lead singer Gareth Jones, guitarist Peter Roberts, bassist Kris Blight, drummer John Maloney, and keyboardist Ian Russell.
The second album from People In Planes has four producers on board with material recorded in seven different studios across America, England and Wales. The producers include Our Lady Peace frontman Raine Maida, Queens of The Stone Age collaborators 'Eleven,' Panic At The Disco producer Matt Squire and Doves/Massive Attack producer Dan Austin, who the band had worked with on the early demos for their debut As Far As The Eye Can See.
Months ago, the quintet shared "Pretty Buildings," as a first offering. The track, available at digital retailers, while being posted on blogs across the Internet, was received with raves from dozens of tastemakers, and thousands of fans. Newsweek exclaimed, "This ballad, rich in melody with strong, searching lyrics, shows why this group is one to watch." The first single from Beyond The Horizon, "Mayday (M'aidez)" will be available via iTunes on May 6, bundled with "Last Man Standing" and a video of "Pretty Buildings." That clip, which originally premiered on Pure Volume, can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kp-Wg0njn7Y.
People In Planes began a North American tour in front of Beyond The Horizon at SXSW in March. Guitarist Peter Roberts tells, "Touring for Beyond The Horizon has felt like a re-birth in as much as we've spent a year fine tuning the record, and consequently every chord change feels like a special one! The dynamic of the band is now even vaster in the lead vocals being a two-pronged attack, arrangements and sonic capabilities are even grander, but essentially song wise - people are already singing every word of our first Internet release 'Pretty Buildings'. Thank God for the web."
