After disbanding previous outfit As An Enemy, Luke Roberts and fellow member David Langfield
joined forces in 2003 with James Johnson to form Let Airplanes Circle Overhead. The bands sound is characterised by their ability to build up sparsely melancholic, languishing melodies, switching in an unforeseen instant to an assault of the distortion and jerking movements, building to prolonged white noise and onstage mania. Like a call to arms from the sweetest army.
This formula is never allowed to stagnate however, the addition of jazz improvisation, innovative and unusual use of equipment on stage and occasional collaborations with violinists Cathy Jones and Rachael Dixon bolster and enrich their already quite considerable canon. Unfortunately, the band have now decided to call it a day, but one last highly limited ep will be released on Motive Sounds Recordings in place of a 30 gun salute...
David and James continue to play music in the psychedelic rock band Minaret.
