Dylan Abbott writes pop songs. Lately, he’s been in the habit of taking them apart, fucking up all the pieces, and reconstructing them as something else, something that still resembles a pop song structure, but just barely. When he does this, he calls the results Miniature Airlines, and so far he’s done this for several years, on two self-released EPs (“Apparel” and “Pushpin Revolution”). Originally known as Airliner (before a Swede with the same name made him change it), Minature Airlines has taken his music from poppy electro to cerebral glitch, soaking up the influence of IDM, new wave, and hip-hop along the way.
Poppy melodies flit on top of gurgling FM synths, while retro drum machines pound out beats ranging from clubby to spastic.
