About Me

"Perhaps a nod to Pavement, a wink at Grandaddy and a flirt with My Bloody Valentine, but definitely a life affirming gem of a record"The Plan to Reverse Time, the debut album by Pilots of Japan is available at CD Baby now and is due for an April 24th release in the UK.The future plan involves locating a like minded conspirator to aid in getting the Pilot's record out into the nations malls and plazas, playing Glastonbury, meeting Stephen Malkmus, getting Chris Morris to direct a video, and letting Gary realise his dream of fronting a folk band, before retiring to Easter Island.
