Coming Up For Air EP
This is a new four-track EP from indie-pop melody masters Silver Biplanes, featuring the husband-and-wife team of Tim and Vanessa Vass.
Tim was bassist and lyricist in cult indie band Razorcuts, co-writing all their songs. Razorcuts releases regularly featured in the higher reaches of the independent charts throughout the late 80s, and included two top five albums recorded for the iconic Creation label. Vanessa was the singer in much-loved 90s indie band the Melons.
Having released two acclaimed Silver Biplanes albums (A Moment In The Sun and Travelling By Candlelight), they are joined by drummer Rob Scott and guitarist Noel Douglas for this new ten-inch release which feature four prime slices of Biplanery, headed by the bittersweet pop of sparklingly catchy lead track Coming Up For Air.
The band’s wide range of influences – psychedelia, post-punk, krautrock and more – are fully on show across this EP, which also features a swirling cover of Miss California Toothpaste 1972, a standout track on Biff Bang Pow!’s classic 1988 album Love Is Forever.
For Tim, the song represents a homage to his former label Creation, as he and fellow Razorcut Gregory Webster used to join BBP! on stage on occasion for twin tambourine duties at Alan McGee’s invitation.
