Stars of Aviation - Greatest Disappointment EP
(Grandpa)
The Greatest Disappointment EP is the second EP from the Cambridge,
England Quartet The Stars of Aviation. The four song EP begins with
the subtle piano-based song "Inclined to Fall," and is followed up by
two more well crafted songs that through their instrumentation, vocals,
and melody seem to paint a picture rather than create a mood. The
fourth and final song is somewhat of a disappointment though compared to
the first three. "The Boy Who Held His Breath Too Long" is not a bad
song, but for me its pop enthusiasm and guitar solo seems oddly out of
place after three beautiful, stark, and almost haunting songs.
According to the band's bio, it's the song that seems to be getting
the most attention from live audiences and radio stations, which is
probably why they included it, but if the record would have ended with
the somewhat chaotic climax of "You Buried Your Face." It would leave
me wanting more with out being so distracted.
