My Little Airport

My Little Airport landing on Elefant

MY LITTLE AIRPORT is the peculiar name of the newest signing on Elefant Records: an indie-pop/electro-noise-pop band from Hong Kong (the second Hong Kong artist in the Elefant Records story, right after THE PANCAKES), formed by P and Nicole, and well known in the Hong Kong area thanks to the big success they had with their debut album.

In December we will release "Zoo is sad, people are cruel", a fourteen-song album compiling the best moments off their two albums.
Their lyrics are about relationships and stories between P and his friends and acquaintances -really, the lyrics are about this; just check out song titles like "Victor, fly me to Stafford", "You don't wanna be my girlfriend, Phoebe" or "Leo, are you still jumping out of windows in expensive clothes?"-, and their twee-pop sound shares the naïveté of the Sarah Records bands, the simple charms of CONFETTI and THE SOFTIES and the unaffected intonations of HEAVENLY's Amelia Fletcher. With a song titled "When I listen to The Field Mice", what else could they be but an indie band?

Anyway, their sounding indie and delicate doesn't mean they don't have darker moments and secret thoughts. Or maybe not so secret: "I don't know how to download good AV like Iris does" is a childish, light-weight melody, about someone who asks a friend help to download... good porn, movies with "boys and girls dressed up in uniform" (AV standing up for Adult Video). Who said innocent?
