pilot round the sun

"Born from the breakup of West Chester's beguiling Gilroys, Pilot Round the Sun has proved equally schizophrenic, in decided contrast to Wise and Foolish Builders, the baroque-folk ensemble comprising other ex-Gilroys. In whichever stage of evolution, the band is marked by dizzying technical prowess shot through with frontman Sean Hoots' fiery, nearly erratic delivery. On Pilot's two EPs and one album (on West Chester's Creep Records), listeners are sent through offbeat spirals, grasping for some reference point. Is it robust classic rock, punch-drunk shoegaze, slippery prog, sinewy post-punk or jittery garage?"
