Pilotdrift is from Texarkana, Texas. Texarkana is located in
the Piney Woods of East Texas and like it sounds, the state
lines of Arkansas and Texas do indeed run directly through the
middle of the city. If you do have a preconception as to what
a band from Texarkana might sound like, you should probably
throw that out the window. Pilotdrift is an exploratory unit
moving through atmospheres, melodies, electronics, and
orchestrations with surprising sonic precision. Pilotdrift
truly exists in its own atmosphere and would be just at home
on Saturn as it would be in Texarkana. "Home" is however very
important to Pilotdrift. The members of Pilotdrift began as a
group of friends; most of the members of the band have known
each other since adolescence. A musical bound originated out
of their friendship with one another as they began to find
ways to express a developing musical vision of Pilotdrift's
songwriter, Kelly Carr. Something special happened along the
way as the friendships fused with Kelly's musical vision
creating songs that seemed to intermingle styles, instruments,
and parts in an extraordinary way. Pilotdrift moved closer to
its destiny after consigning their first release "Iter Facere"
at Good Records in Dallas, Texas. The self produced and
released debut caught the attention of Tim DeLaughter and
Julie Doyle of The Polyphonic Spree who own Good Records.
Turning the eyes and ears of the Good Records crowd became a
catalyst for Tim and Julie to pursue Pilotdrift as the first
band to be signed to Good Records Recordings that was not a
product of Tim DeLaughter. Invigorated by the developing
relationship with Good Records Recordings Pilotdrift began to
play to larger and larger crowds in the Dallas area and
nationwide sharing stages with The Polyphonic Spree and
Eisley. Their unique pairing of cinematic and melodic rock
began to amaze audiences. It is easy to see the shock in
people's faces during their set. Pilotdrift was not merely
knocking on destiny's door, but threatening to knock it down.
Pilotdrift will release its second recording "Water Sphere" on
Good Records Recordings on September 20, 2005. This new record
clearly demonstrates Pilotdrift's growth in leaps and bounds.
The record exhibits the bands ability to move between genres
and sounds to create a unique style all their own. "Water
Sphere" begins with the triumphant rock of "Caught In My Trap"
and moves into the unchartered pop waters of "Bubblecraft."
The middle of the record is anchored by a haunting nine minute
epic entitled "Jekyll And Hyde Suite" that seems both natural
and illogical simultaneously. Immediately following is the
epic tale of Shackleton and his journey in song form known as
"Elephant Island." "Comets" is an instrumental that is
daunting yet brief that leads/leaves you in a trance to the
last song. "So Long" is an anthem in every sense of the word.
"Water Sphere" carves out a niche that the world will soon
know as Pilotdrift.
