4 out of 5 stars unexpectedly amazing.......2004-11-12

I've never heard of Downpilot until today i downloaded their song "TRUE" @ the Free Downloads section of this site, and i have to say "TURE" is one of the best songs of years, and i just keep repeating it since i downloaded ... I will buy their album 4 sure and i'm sure everyone will at least think about buying it after they heard "TRUE".

4 out of 5 stars wow...I should buy this.......2004-06-07

I downloaded the free MP3, listened to the samples, read the review, and I have to say, I'm glad I did. The melodies are smooth, and it really is some great songwriting. I'm sure I won't be disappointed, this band is great.

5 out of 5 stars I get it!.......2003-10-10

There comes a time when, after listening to an album about ten times, you get it. I think I have finally figured out why I enjoy listening to Leaving Not Arriving. It fits together, the music, the vocals and pace of the album represent a nice smooth transition between songs and moments in your day. It is not ground-breaking/experimental/revolutionary music that sets it apart from what is around the radio today, but rather, the concept that appears to be missing - by making a simple, warm, harmonic, beautiful collection of songs that you want to listen to over and over. There are a lot of different influences I hear in this album from REM to Stuart Davis to even maybe some later XTC. Quit wasting your time reading my ramble and buy it - you won't be disappointed.

For Northwest fans of this band, consider this CD a promise kept; the alchemy of Down Pilot and producer Tucker Martine has resulted in an album that's both sonically arresting yet quietly confident. Down Pilot don't swagger; they sway.

I know it's not hip to compare a band to R.E.M. anymore since that group's indie cache is long spent on Nudie suits and Learjet flights, but damn if vocalist Paul Hiraga's sweet, tactile vocals don't conjure up a similar sense of foggy longing (think "Country Feedback" with a few Radiohead guitar spirals mixed in, and you've got a sense of the terrain).

Ethereal without being obtuse, moody without being standoffish, "Leaving Not Arriving" doesn't pack the obviousness to get them a gold record, but it's sure going to win them some hearts. Is yours next?
