Stars Of Aviation - 'Snow on Snow' (Kitchen Records)

Four tracks on shiny disc from everyone's favourite home-run record label; and the song is like what? 'Like Tram moving at a slow Godspeed,' the reviewer thinks while he sorts out his laundry, his underwear hung over the drying rack like dead rats, 'Snow on Snow' evoking winter pictures and wishing for a Christmas release. Slow but modestly grand, like a chipped piano; content to be a bit sad. 'A bit like Grandaddy,' the reviewer later says more sensibly when sat at his computer and able to look at what he's thinking. Stars of Aviation use kids' keyboards while the kids are screaming outside (good backing vocals), and the adults are trying to watch the local news. Even a more upbeat song is called 'Stars of aviation are singing about the summer, but is it going to be sunny, Carol?'

And 'Love is only in your mind' is like a happy Clearlake - modest, with a reason - but with just cause to sing. A lovely present stuck in a threadbare stocking. Watch this band…
