iTunes Review

It wasn’t Mikel Jollett’s job as a music critic that inspired him to start making his own music so much as it was a grip of adversity; in one week his girlfriend dumped him, his mom found out she had cancer and he was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that caused him spot baldness and skin depigmentation. The Airborne Toxic Event was born as Jollett’s cathartic vehicle. The quintet’s self-titled debut rocks with catchy song hooks and a commercial alternative radio familiarity that’s sure to hit home with fans of Joy Division, Interpol, The Strokes and Arcade fire – though opening cut “Wishing Well” has Jollett’s impassioned inflections sounding uncannily similar to Conor Oberst, replete with a quivering timbre and impressive literary lyrics. And it sounds again like there's a different singer on “Papillon” where Jollett downshifts from tenor to baritone with shaky Ian Curtis modulations. “Sometime Around Midnight” is a standout with lush strings leading into electric guitars and Jollett settling into his own unaffected voice.

Customer Reviews

This album rocks
     

If "Somewhere Around Midnight" does not get the hair on the back of your neck standing straight up and your blood boiling...check your pulse mate, you're already dead.

Airborne Toxic Event = One of my fav new bands!
     

These guys are great. Their style is new, unique and refreshing. Sometime Around Midnight is genius - It doesn't follow the typical pattern of verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus like 95% of songs... It flows effortlessly from beginning to end and envokes real emotion from the listener. All of the other songs on this album are fantastic also. Highly recommended!!

Amazing
     

This is a great album, from a great new band. Love them!!! Their sound is extraordinary, particularly in the way they mix up the tempo, add strings, etc and still keep the cutting edge sound. Hard to pick a favorite as they're all great songs, but Sometime Around Midnight and Innocence would be on top of my list. Gotta check them out!

Borne by aspiring novelist and writer Mikel Jollett during a tumultuous period in his life, the Airborne Toxic Event (named after a section in American authorDon DeLillo's novel White Noise) were based in Los Angeles, and quickly made a name for themselves, earning a spot on the Top 25 MySpace bands in Rolling Stone magazine in 2006. That award was notable given that the band formed earlier that same year, initially as a duo consisting of Jollett and drummer Daren Taylor. Soon, a roster expansion...
