Ghosts

Perhaps typically for a band based in Bristol, Airbus use their fair share of trip-hop effects to enhance their musical palette. Crucially though, their debut album 'Ghosts' adds a rockier, almost grunge-like angle which perhaps make them pioneers in this field. 'Gravity' boasts an excellent riff-filled chorus whilst 'All My Wishes' is darker, restrained and more mysterious, its falsetto vocals evoking comparisons with the similarly-styled Six By Seven on one of their best tracks, 'European Me'. The other outstanding song is 'Secret' which merges the best elements of the aforementioned tracks into something quite captivating. Overall, this is a fine beginning for a group with original ideas and the ability to turn these into a highly likeable product.
