Hot on the heels of the release of their second album, Out Of The Angeles, Amusement Parks On Fire follow up with this stunning four track EP. Kicking things off with album track 'In Flight' the band go on to show why their unique brand of emotional, psychedelic rock is creating such a stir over three brand new recordings.
Amusement Parks On Fire have come along way since their birth in the imagination of a 16 year old Michael Feerick. Inspired by the sonic adventures of The Pixies, Sigur Ros and My Bloody Valentine, Michael wrote the songs that made up APoF's self titled debut album in his Nottingham bedroom. Overflowing with ideas, but lacking a band, he used his prodigious talents to turn his vision into reality. Playing nearly all of the instruments himself - guitars, bass, drums, vocals - he recorded the album in a local studio, with the help of engineer, and friend, Dan Knowles. The album was released on Geoff 'Portishead' Barrow's Invada label, and in response to the offers of gigs that came flooding in Michael built a band to meet the demand. Joining Michael (vocals and guitar) were local boys Dan Knowles (guitar), Jez Cox (bass), Peter Dale (drums). Since their first gig at Nottingham's Social in January 2004, the band have toured the length and breadth of the UK, Europe and America, winning over crowds with their dynamic, adventurous performances.
The experiences of two years constant gigging have been distilled into Out Of The Angeles. Recorded in the band's own studio and at Sigur Ros's fabled swimming pool studio in Iceland, produced by the band themselves, and mastered by the legendary Howie Weinberg in New York, this album pushes the Amusement Parks On Fire sound further than ever before: never has one US hack's description of the band as "the psychedelic Foo Fighters" been more appropriate. Already available as a limited CD release, the album has been repackaged with a live DVD and will be re-released on 18 September.
