Aeroplane Broke Up: So Who Gets Music Custody?
Posted by

So imagine you're a DJ duo from Brussels, Belgium. You're well known on the interwebs for your proficient remix work, plus a couple of singles and 12"s, eventually scoring a record deal over at Wall of Sound.
With monster blog hype backing you, you decide to...
A. Stay together, support the record, and bath in the critical acclaim
B. Play the Pitchfork Music Festival in 2011
C. Go on a European tour with Delorean and The xx
D. Break up
If you guessed D, then you would be Aeroplane. The acclaimed electronic outfit has decided to call it quits*, just as their debut album is set to drop in September.
However, the record's first single, "We Can't Fly," is fantastic -- pure new-disco, with a pinch of reggae and a dash of Talking Heads aka a summertime gem. Check it out down below, in both extended and radio edit forms, and take sides in the divorce**.
* Apparently, only one member decided to call it quits and the "band" will go on without him. While that means Aeroplane haven't technically broken up, you can't fire half your chefs and expect the same kitchen...
** You cannot take sides in the divorce.

I agree with most of your points, but a few need to be discussed further, I will hold a small talk with my buddies and perhaps I will ask you some suggestion shortly.
