In-Flight Safety formed in the small town of Sackville, NB, Canada during the twilight of their undergrad degrees. The idea to abandon their prescribed paths of study (fine art, computers sciences, geography, and classics) came in the form of a one-line email that said: "nice album". That email was from David Bowie in reference to a handmade copy of their basement-recorded Vacation Land EP. Their latest album We Are An Empire, My Dear was recorded in a 100-year-old schoolhouse during the dead of winter. The record combines pulsing bass, sparse piano, and hypnotic, pounding drums with hooky guitars inadvertently dressed in the neon colours of the 1980s. This unassuming band creates music that is both cathartic and epic. Still they maintain a childlike sense of wonder as the search for new ears takes them further and further from home.

I still don't know how I found this song. All I know is that I need to figure out what I did and do it much more often. xD
