Miniature Airlines Updates

February 12, 2012 at 6:40 pm

We’ve been asleep at the wheel. Not only did we forget to tell you about Miniature Airlines’ entry into the 10th Annual Seattle Laptop Battle in a timely manner, we also neglected to inform you that he took it all the way to the finals this year, and went home with the title of Laptop Battle Champion. Mea culpa. There is a little video evidence floating around though (Round 3, and Round 1) if you’d like to relive the experience from the comfort of our own home.

In other news though, we understand that the miniature one is cutting through a slab of writer’s block with the dull razor of necessity, and preparing new material for a future release. No word yet on the format, release date, style, or working title (though one apparently exists now), but we’ll report as soon as there’s more to tell. You can catch the first public airing of this material in late March, at the Shameless Social. More details on that soon.

And, in last minute news, you can catch Miniature Airlines playing improvised guitar noise at the 23rd installment of Monster Planet at the Can Can on Monday night. Hopefully we’ll see some of you there.

9 Remixes from the Arrivals & Departures LP, and one new introductory track.

Arrivals & Departures

The debut full-length from Miniature Airlines. 11 tracks, ranging from poppy bliss-out, to full-on spastic meltdown.

And Will You Leave Me Thus? Say No. Say No. Say No.

rom deep, deep bass, welling up from nothingness, to the harsh metallic screams that herald some vague apocalypse, this new Hjalti album is a journey of extremes…
