Aviator - Head In The Clouds, Hands In The Dirt

Aviator is tricky to write about, something on which they pride themselves. Formed in 2009 in the hardcore hotbed of Boston, the members have been so sharply focused on honing their songcraft that theyve neglected to manufacture a backstory, an angle. But with the maturation evident across their early short-form releases (3 EPs, splits with My Fictions & Spirit Fangs)Aviator is comfortable letting their music speak for itself. Aviators own youthful, reckless abandon led them to create a raw, textured album that isnt simply another progressive-hardcore record, rather an exploration of creativity and sound that finds the band pushing their craft further than ever before.Head In The Clouds, Hands In The Dirt broke a lot of new ground for us - rhythmically, harmonically and especially vocally - and we couldn't be more proud of the result, says guitarist Michael Russo. We've never been content with limiting ourselves to any particular sound or style and I think this record reflects that.
