Artists to Watch: People In Planes

People In Planes Sets Their Sights High With Cutting Edge Rock

People In Planes are a Cardiff-based band who play an intelligent fusion of contemporary cutting edge rock music, while retaining the warm aesthetic tones produced by retro instruments and equipment. They also explore the genre-spanning possibilities of programming and editing.

Having opened for a wide range of high-profile artists, from Jamie Cullum to The Cooper Temple Clause to The Vines, 22-20s and the Fun Lovin' Criminals, People In Planes soon came to the attention of producer Sam Williams (Supergrass, The Mystics). Work quickly began on a couple of tracks in the legendary studio Monnow Valley and resulted in their (as yet untitled) debut album. The band's visual identity was cemented with the inclusion of their promo poster in the recently published book, Sonic: Visuals for Music, alongside cover art from Beck, Royksopp, Queens of The Stone Age and other great rock artists.
