"very strong debut... a confident collection of gems" Record of the day (debut album review)“you could streak the sky with this album's melodies and   more...people would stand, necks craned, mouths agape, gasping at the beauty of it all... It has an effortless, uncontrived universality" Adam Walton BBC Radio WalesPaper Aeroplanes is a girl and a boy from Westest Wales, now based in the capital of Wales and the capital of England. They make melancholy-tinged acoustic music centred around distinctive vocals.Their recent single, ‘Not as Old’ was playlisted on national radio – including a Bob Harris session on BBC Radio 2 and gathered a multitude of regional radio plays. The track - written and produced with Matt Prime (Will Young, Eliza Doolittle) drew much praise from enthused critics and bloggers alike.We Are Ghosts is Paper Aeroplanes’ new mini-album which follows a tumultuous past year for the duo. Suffering the frustrations of being churned through the major record label excitement mill - i.e. courted and schmoozed by big-wigs at well-known labels, sitting in countless platinum-plaqued offices listening to many ‘definite maybes’ from chin-stroking decision-makers."First a top A&R guy travelled to Cardiff for a specially arranged showcase with us”, says lead singer Sarah, "then the man responsible for a well-known international artist’s career set up 3 showcases and took us out for drinks in a Soho Members Club. We’re waiting for someone to make that move, but still wanted to put our new material out there. I'm sure it's a familiar tale but it can be hard to deal with and easy to lose your identity as artists". The new record marks a change in approach and a feeling of independence, with comparisons already being drawn to Turin Brakes, Mazzy Star and Alison Krauss. Produced and recorded entirely by the band in guitarist Richard's flat, the songs are all acoustic lead and possess a warm, genuine but distinctly raw feel which they felt the previous album lacked. We Are Ghosts was mixed by David Wrench (Kathryn Williams, Stephanie Dosen, Y Niwl, Guillemots).We Are Ghosts is a truthful hard-worked labour of love, written and recorded with integrity, frustration, emotion and guile.

"The idea started when tracks from their debut album were added to the Costa Coffee playlist. We had texts and emails from friends all over the country saying they'd heard us in Costa; but being added to the great wash of ubiquitous elevator muzak didn't seem to introduce us to many new fans. Starbucks tried to start a music label and Caffe Nero host unplugged live events, but we just thought, what about the Indies? Our music, ethos   less

I was hearing this song for awhile now as I got my Queen Platinum Collection CD's back and at the same time I have been watching 'Bleach' for awhile now. For some reason both stroke as a nice pair in my mind and I set out to do the video, this is the end result of it. Hope you all like it ^_^
