It's nice that they remember their roots

People in Planes (formerly Tetra Splendour (formerly Robots in the Sky)) recently re-entered the musical world, announcing the new album Beyond the Horizon, coming out on the 9th September. They're a Welsh band now signed to Wind-Up records, the same label as Finger Eleven and apparently Evanescence... In the run up to the CD, the band have released two tracks as singles on iTunes.

Want to see what happens when I try to buy them?

Wind-Up seem to be pretty geared towards online networking and promotion, so why are they making this fatal flaw? I can live without Mayday for a couple of weeks, but they're losing a large amount of potential revenue here on the home continent.

Bitching aside, the album sounds amazing so far. Pretty Buildings and Mayday (M'aidez) are both solid tracks, and you can listen to them both on the band's official site. For a limited time you can download Pretty Buildings for free by signing up to the mailing list here, and you can also download a live, acoustic version of Mayday from BFN.
