Pete International Airport 
Sea of Eyes (Featuring Alexander Hackett) 
Little Cloud Records 
 
The wait is over, Pete International Airport is back in business and the tunes are taking off in all directions. The Dandy Warhols and Sun Atoms veteran Peter G Holstrom brings his own personal craft to the front of the brochure. With help from big industry names such as Alexander Hackett from the dreamgaze group Pang Attack and Ride’s vocalist Andy Bell, Pete International Airport puts a permanent sonic landmark on the map with every fresh installation. Out Now, Sea Of Eyes EP makes use of the remix talents of Andy Bell, Tom Smith of Holy Youth Movement, and Daniel Sparks of omniscuro. Described as a natural progression from the recent full-length record, this exploratory and experimental mashup adds extra colour and direction to the already long list of musical destinations. The lead track, Sea Of Eyes, is represented with a fascinating 7-minute music video directed by Italian film-maker Francesca Bonci. 
 
A sweeping percussive phrase takes the wind and blusters the sail as a wave of electronic sound rushes in. Loose harmonies swerve and pivot within neat frames as the melody builds within the guitar and vocal. Laid-back and dazed, the lyrics begin to make sense of the images and feelings that push through the fizz of enchanting music. Keyboard atmospheres rumble and electronic bells chime and hum in the distance as the bassline follows the intuitive lead set by the passion for rhythm and blues. Epic side-fills and meandering peripheral layers continue to provide ample meat to the bones of the psychedelia infused concoction of rhythmic folk and organic trance. You might need a cup of tea to put you back in the real world once you’ve enjoyed the full experience.

Pete International Airport
Next Of Kin (Featuring Lisa Elle)
It Felt Like The End Of The World
 
From The Dandy Warhols, Peter G. Holmström continues the musical adventure with Pete International Airport. A glissando of talents and backgrounds move together in one well-oiled machine of sound and imaginative travel. Out now on Little Cloud Records, his new album It Felt Like The End Of The World takes a body of work mostly written during Covid and releases it into the wild. This third album takes the rock psychedelia to new levels with mixing undertaken by Spooky Electric Co’s Jeremy Sherrer and mastering by Dave Coley at Elysian. Featuring Dark Horses’ Lisa Elle, Next Of Kin takes the position of video single and portrays a sense of progress in times of uncertainty.
 
Enchanting melodies waft up from the dreamy intro, guitars and drums emerging from the chrysalis of sound. Bass forms a solid ground for heady drums and meandering piano to flow in spacious verse sections. Lisa Elle sings with her angelic voice quality that rises and falls with the tune as the song reaches ever further outward. Ambient guitar motifs ring out between the words as harmonising phrases elevate and compliment the sound of the vocal. A tuneful and uplifting relaxation gives Next Of Kin a great atmosphere and an imaginative playground of inspiration.
