Title: Sound Bites

Pilotdrift, Water Sphere (Good Records). Combining cinematic orchestration with the twisted grandiloquence of Queen or Bobby Conn, this extraordinary debut from Texarkana's Pilotdrift is a surprise a second. Lush and melodic odes to weightlessness ("Bubblecraft") and illicit love affairs between Napoleon, Einstein and Doris Day ("Late Night in a Wax Museum") make the first band signed to Polyphonic Spree's new label sound like superior beings from a distant planet. -- La Briola
