Downpilot has given the music world two LPs of lush and atmospheric pop in collaboration with producer Tucker Martine (REM, Decemberists, Laura Veirs) with influences as diverse as americana rock, ambient electronica and jazz. The new album "They Kind Of Shine" draws some individualistic inspiration from the first Paul McCartney solo albums (on which the former Beatle played nearly every instrument himself), Hiraga embarked on a private studio exploration that has many songs performed entirely by himself on acoustic/electric/lap steel guitars, drums and percussion, acoustic and electric piano, humming old Farfisas and Hammonds and creaky old pump organs, with an occasional banjo and ukulele thrown in for flavor. The album is a rich acoustic-electric-chamber-pop-roots-americana-rock-jazz album that doesn't really hold on to any simplistic labels. This is the timeless music of Downpilot.
