"Warbles and wiggles through a pop music dreamscape that is positively otherworldly...[Pilotdrift] drag sci-fi psychedelia into a dank and bubbling madscientist lab and perform countless crossbreeding experiments on it....a salve for ears rubbed raw by current pop's redundancy."
-Washington Post
"Embodies space-rock adjectives like ethereal, ambitious, grandiose, and bombastic."
-FILTER
Pilotdrift's debut label album is Water Sphere--"Like a little movie rental store," says Carr, "you have your drama, sci-fi, thriller, fantasy, romance, historical documentary--whatever it takes to help you escape the daily grind." Water Sphere begins with the theatrical, haunting, dark, (and yet somehow inviting) "hit-you-from-behind" rock of "Caught in My Trap". Layers of instruments surround and enfold dangerously evocative vocals, drawing the listener, inescapably, into its net. From there it drops you into the unchartered pop waters of "Bubblecraft", which sounds like a 1970s James Bond, passed out in a jazz lounge, dreaming about the far future. After the electrical rain dance of "Passenger Seat," Pilotdrift entertains you with the fantasy story of "Late Night in a Wax Museum." The middle of the record is anchored by a haunting 10-minute epic entitled "Jekyll and Hyde Suite" that sounds like a two-faced orchestra battling within itself to free from a straitjacket. Immediately following is the Antarctic tale of Shackleton and his journey to "Elephant Island." A train ride through the Middle East takes you to "Rings of Symbols," an intense, mesmerizing sitar rock song. The album then cools you off with "Comets," a trance-instrumental that leaves you rested and ready for the last song, "So Long," an anthem in every sense of the word. Galloping and triumphant, it feels like coming up over a peak and seeing the sun burst out in front of you.

NEW!
ALL THESE THINGS AT ONE TIME (2011)
A- All These Things At One Time -(4:05)
B- ????? (name your mystery b-side) -(3:38)
All These Things has dreamy, dramatic orchestrations that sit atop an uneasy electronic pulse and a bed of guitars that alternately lull and lash. It is a collection of several real news stories fused
 with fictitious ones creating a mosaic that explores the haves and the have nots, lost opportunities, and misplaced priorities, all with over the top irony...all these things, at one time
