Pilot is an ambitious project comprising three distinct parts, delivering a sonic journey through indie, post-rock, and shoegaze lineage. The Media’s unique sound features walls of layered guitars, overlapping melodies, and intricate song structures. Each track tells powerful stories of social inequity, human insignificance, anxiety, and lost friendships.

"PILOT" by The Media (IGLOO058) is out today on all streaming platforms and to own digitally from bandcamp.

Walls of layered guitars, overlapping melodies and song structures with more 5’s than 4’s. The Media’s songwriting is ambitious, sometimes introverted and then, at times, strikingly expansive sonic amble through their indie, post rock, shoegaze lineage.

Pilot was recorded and mastered at home, in all of their homes over the space of 9 months. Massive guitars, Noise, Drone, driving rhythms and engaging melodic vocals all intertwine to create a repeated sense of tension then release.

Personal note: The band features my friend of 27 years and Turnstyle co-conspirator, Dean Davies and this marks the first Igloo release featuring one of my band members' projects. Killer songs with melodies that go for days...
