First Flight

• Låtlista

Guitar obsessive and perennial indie kid Derrick Dalton gives free rein to his flights of musical fancy under the moniker Aeromodeller. \'First Flight\', an album of uplifting, instrumental guitar pop -- steering a course somewhere between The Smiths, The Shadows and Durutti Column.-- was recorded as a solo project by Dalton in one week in 2007. The album is by no means Dalton\'s maiden voyage into the Dublin music scene, however. Musical co-pilots have included hardcore rockers Mexican Pets, poptastic indie boys Crumb, and \'C86\' band and John Peel favourites Hey Paulette. Fasten your seatbelts for a majestic take-off.
