The real world kind and the metaphorical ones as well. Having experienced the arrival of my children, the decline and departure of my parents, and the many years of venturing out and returning home in my own life, travel feels like the perfect tropology to consider the mysteries we inhabit. Travel and its impressions, rituals, superstitions—the possibilities and risk-all open up onto the landscape of our biggest questions, fear and wonder. “Two songs established the spine of this music. Songs I’ve always loved, it seems even before I’d heard them. The first one, and the source of the title is ‘You Belong to Me’ by Jo Stafford. Colonial overtones unmissable to our modern ears aside, it’s also a beautiful mid century romance—and an ode to the threat of a shrinking world. The song represents the loneliness and the mystery of being alone and left behind. The singer is not asking their loved one to shut down horizons, merely reminding them to return when the traveling is done. To set aside The Silver Plane of transition, change and the in-between for the intimacy of solid earth. “The songs on Fly the Ocean in a Silver Plane were recorded at home over the last couple years. I played electric guitar, rubber bridge acoustic guitar, Ableton Live and an Electron Digitone synth. My friend Mallory Linnehan aka Chelsea Bridge contributed beautiful violin and vocals to a couple of the songs. We recorded those performances on a summer afternoon in Chicago at the Not Not space with the windows open. “The cover is a photo of my mom—one I never saw when she was alive. With the headscarf and that excited, nervous expression, she looks about to embark on a journey. Ready, finally, to cross the tarmac and board the Silver Plane.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrack listing:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver Plane, Now Boarding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeath Cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEntrance to Afterlife\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesert Under Bridge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeaven's Waiting Room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilver Tramway (In Snow)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoneyman-Scott\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTaxi to the Terminal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Window in the Strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden Gate, Silver City\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Waiting Room Records","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":44937870540915,"sku":null,"price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"LP","offer_id":44937870573683,"sku":null,"price":30.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0082\/4315\/0908\/files\/a3217225265_10.jpg?v=1778194360","url":"https:\/\/waitingroomrecords.com\/products\/pan-american-fly-the-ocean-in-a-silver-plane","provider":"Waiting Room Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
