Pete International Airport has released their new Sea of Eyes EP (aka The Lamplighters EP) via Portland-based label Little Cloud Records. This release comes shortly after the “Sea of Eyes’ GLOK Remix” by Ride artist Andy Bell.

Pete International Airport is led by Peter G. Holmström of The Dandy Warhols and Sun Atoms. Together, they build “immersive and timeless soundscapes” due, partly, to their creative work with collaborators.

The 5-track Sea of Eyes EP was co-authored with and features vocals by Alexander Hackett. Apart from the remix by Andy Bell, there are also remixes created by Tom Smith (Holy Youth Movement) and long-time collaborator Daniel Sparks (omniscuro). 

Holmström says:

I really wanted to showcase Alexander Hackett’s vocal contributions to the record. There’s just this insane depth to his lyrics, and his voice is fantastic. The way the initial rollout of the album happened his songs weren’t the singles… I needed to do something to put that out there, and because I’m gonna be working with him in the future, it was something I wanted to do. It also was an excuse to reach out to Andy Bell and see if he’d do a remix and get some other friends involved. I always love hearing other people’s interpretations of the tracks and what their ears latch onto and where they take the track from there.

Mixed by Jeremy Sherrer at Spooky Electric Co. (Modest Mouse, The Shins, The Dandy Warhols) and mastered by Dave Coley at Elysian Mastering, most tracks were recorded at Air Traffic Control studio, and drums at The Trench Studios by The Dandy Warhols’ sound engineer Gregg Williams.

The Sea of Eyes EP has been released on limited edition cassette and digitally via Spotify, Apple Music. and Bandcamp, where PIA’s album It Felt Like The End of the World is also available on deluxe double vinyl, CD and digitally.
