Planets | Grey Clouds

VINYL FORMAT. Honestly, we never thought this day would come. In 1998 San Diego's Three Mile Pilot abruptly went on indefinite hiatus following their much-adored third album, Another Desert, Another Sea. Fans were heartbroken but quickly consoled when its founding members immediately formed Pinback and The Black Heart Procession. As those bands became increasingly popular, the mythology surrounding Three Mile Pilot continued to grow.

Now, in anticipation of the long overdue new album (due out in 2010), the mighty Three Mile Pilot have recorded two new songs for this limited edition single. "Planets" is an unusually upbeat and infectious slice of weird pop perfection. B-side "Grey Clouds" is a darker, sprawling gem recalling the band's earlier days, when they were one of the most risky and experimental bands on Geffen Records.
