Airstream Futures
In February, Airstream Futures released their second album, titled Le Feu Et Le Sable. We recently conducted a phone interview with singer Devon Carson and guitarist Jeff Dean. (The band’s lineup also consists of drummer Mike Soucy and bassist Katie Karpowicz). We talked about how the album was written and recorded, what some of its songs are about and the meaning behind its title. The record demonstrates the band’s ability to further sharpen their sound, which incorporates elements of punk, indie rock and alternative, as well as a touch of added aggression. We also discussed the band’s future, including how they plan to navigate these uncertain times.

Airstream Futures
Earlier this month, Chicago’s Airstream Futures released their debut album on Paper + Plastick, entitled Spirale Infernale. We recently met with the band, (singer Devon Carson, guitarist Jeff Dean, bassist Megan Edgin and drummer Mike Soucy) and talked at length about the record. We discussed its writing and recording process, the impact of the album’s producers, what influenced some of the lyrical content and more. Airstream Futures merge punk, ‘90s alternative and indie rock subtleties to create a style that’s uniquely their own. Also apparent in their sound is how much fun the band members have writing and playing music together. Despite forming just over a year ago, Airstream Futures has already accomplished a considerable amount and show no sign of slowing their momentum anytime soon. Continue Reading…
Airstream Futures – “Dreams of Narrow Wings”
This spring, Airstream Futures will release their debut full-length on Paper + Plastick, called Spirale Infernale. The band combines elements of punk, indie rock and alternative, and features members of The Bomb, The Methadones and Bow & Spear. The album was produced by Rodrigo Palma, (Saves the Day) and Derek Grant, (Alkaline Trio), and recorded/mixed by the band’s guitarist, Jeff Dean. Airstream Futures’ lineup also includes singer Devon Carson, bassist Megan Edgin and drummer Mike Soucy. We’ve got an exclusive premiere of one of the record’s songs below, called “Dreams of Narrow Wings.” When asked to describe the song, Carson said “It started with Mike’s description of a dream where he had wings but they were too narrow to fly. It made us think about all the horrifying things going on in the world and the overwhelming desire to help in some way, but feeling completely overwhelmed and ineffectual. If we can’t even save ourselves in our own dreams, it’s no wonder that putting a hashtag in front of a problem has become our favorite form of activism.” Check out the song now and if possible, catch the band on their upcoming UK tour.
