ALBUM REVIEW: Public Service Broadcasting – The Last Flight

SO Recordings

Released: 04.10.24

Public Service Broadcasting have a vision for their projects, and their latest album charts the fateful final voyage of American air ace Amelia Earhart. Rather than being doomy and depressing, the music is so often uplifting as PSB successfully capture the aspiration, inspiration, sense of wonder, adventure and above all love for life of the woman that set record after record soaring above the world. Using voice clips and stirring music we journey through the life of the pioneer.

Electra, a single pre-released from the album, is as stylish, funky, sleek and speedy as the round the world aircraft it is named after. The final track, Howland, is orchestral and is deeply moving; voice and plane ultimately lost in the mix.
