CD Review: Air Traffic, Fractured Life

You can tell this one's
going to be different right when the jungle drums of "No More Running
Away" roll incongruously yet perfectly into the rhythmic piano and
ethereal vocals of Chris Wall. It's immediately engaging, as is the rest of the
album—the contemplative "I Can't Understand," the retro-wave "Get
in Line," the heartsick "Empty Space" and the perfect pop strata
of "Shooting Star." The strangely wonderful thing is that these songs
sound completely distinctive, yet somehow feel like songs you already know—a
dichotomy you'll stop trying to figure out because you'll be too busy
listening.
