“Star Fighter Pilot AKA Martin Bryant has to acclaim managed to snuck away a few well heeled releases beneath his trusted utility belt that have revealed to a growing audience a sense of a genius in the making, his repertoire flits between concocting minimalist often barbed slices of introspective electro pop to all singing and dancing wide screened candy coated nuggets.”

“…he has a brand new prop to unveil tonight. The prop in question turns out to be a tie.

“It’s actually quite early on that you come face to face with one of the greatest tunes made in Manchester in the past year; “Another Penny” by The Star Fighter Pilot.
Starting with the best retro-futurist synth sound since the BBC Radiophonic Workshop closed its doors, Martin SFP and guest vocalist Rachael Kichenside seemingly effortlessly present the greatest electropop love song since The Paris Angels’ “Perfume”, and that was a very, very long time ago (ask your rave-addled uncle, the one who still wears a fractal T-shirt and gibbers about warehouse parties). In a decent world this would be a great big smash hit.”
