The first track, ‘Sun’ starts and I’m thinking Travis. Not a bad thing. I’ve always quite liked Travis, finding them inoffensive enough. Good quality wallpaper music. And by the end of track 2, ‘Symbol Of New Hope’, I’m getting as bored as I probably would having to sit through an entire Travis album. Luckily ‘Stop Start’ is a peach of a song, conjuring up phrasing reminiscent of a young Robert Smith. Next up is title track ‘Wishstar’ which has some interesting turns, but rings distant bells. The same is true of ‘Thank You’ ‘Try’ ‘Living Without Moving’ and the rest of this nondescript, middle-England album. And then I realise what those bells are. This is the sound of turning on Glastonbury highlights on a Sunday night, and witnessing that goon Jo Whiley raving about a band’s performance earlier that evening, then watching an average band inexplicably going down a storm to the gurning masses with , well… this kind of thing. So there you go. I’m not a fan, but that doesn’t mean Aeroplane won’t have some success.
