Description
Planes Mistaken For Stars – “Do You Still Love Me?” LP
The fifth album from PMFS, the band’s second outing since reforming and the first new music since 2016’s album, Prey. “A harrowing document of life, death and transcendence… It is also the first PMFS release since the death of frontman Gared O’Donnell, whose cancer diagnosis loomed heavily over the recording and whose ghost guided the mix. Chemo and radiation would not stop him from making this masterpiece, in which the band finds itself reeling from the gut-wrenching horrors of their leader’s unimaginable absence.”
Written during the Covid pandemic and recorded by Sanford Parker in Chicago. Thirteen songs that are instantly recognisable as classic PMFS, and although it is not an easy listen in some respects, this also offers a rewarding expansion of their signature sound – frantic post hardcore and metal-tinged rock n’ roll – and it makes for a fitting tribute to a great artist. A voice that we lost and that will be missed.
