Review: Idiot Pilot "The Tail of a Jet Black Swan"

Every time I hear a new Idiot Pilot song, I can't believe that they have yet again managed to progress while still feeling like the same band. This new song is Idiot Pilot, but better. If that makes sense.

They remain firmly planted in electronic territory, but have adopted more of an organic feel this time around, with live drums layered with glitchy electronic hi hats, colorful synths, a clever chord progression, and a catchy hook that will loop in your head again and again.

A little bit of NIN, R&B, and post-rock influences are shining through as well. I also love their lyrics- at first they seem ambiguous and mysterious, yet over time they start to make more sense when put into context. Can't wait to hear the whole album.
