Lost Songs 12″ LP

Color Vinyl

Wishes On A Plane are back with another posthumous release of their distinctive and raw sound of mid 90’s DIY emo, inspired by and reminiscent of earlier releases of Mineral, The Get Up Kids, Penfold, and Elliott.

First up are three songs from local compilations that are mostly unknown. Starting off with “untitled”, which had easily fit with their later songs that ended up on “unreleased“. It’s mostly distorted and rocking, except for a few lighter parts. Next is the even more upbeat and simple “tide” as heard on last year’s compilation on Slow Down Records. Very catchy, almost radio-friendly. The twinkly, almost ballad-esque “what’s left of what is…” ends Side A.

Side B features an alternate version of “anywhere” that has a lot more ‘ooomph’ than the original version from their s/t EP, which was arranged very sparsely. Here we get spooky layers of vocals, multiple kinda odd acoustic guitars throughout the verses and layers of distorted ones in the choruses. Side B then seeks closure over three lo-fi acoustic demos recorded in the early years of the band – the last missing bits of the band’s body of work.
