Furthermore, this will be the long-awaited first CD release, featuring completely new artwork and an additional bonus track: a demo of the 2003 recording \"The Product.\" Recorded by J. Robbins, this is a crucial post-hardcore work where speed, intricate guitar arrangements, and emotional explosions come together at a high level. US New York post-hardcore band Pilot To Gunner's 4th album, \"Hail Hallucinator,\" originally released in 2022, will be reissued in 2026. Furthermore, this will be the first CD release, featuring completely new artwork. In addition, a demo take of the classic 2003 track \"The Product\" will be added as a bonus track. Tracing back to their predecessor band, Madeline, their history spans nearly 30 years. Yet, this album shows no signs of the inertia or nostalgia often associated with veteran bands. Pilot To Gunner's songwriting is breathtaking, centering on exhilarating indie rock and sharp post-hardcore, weaving in complex time signatures, rhythm changes, and intricate guitar arrangements while always prioritizing musical strength and emotional explosion. Intensity and delicacy, intellect and impulse coexist at a high level. Listeners who love indie rock\/emo\/post-hardcore from the 90s and early 00s, such as Jawbox, Burning Airlines, Shiner, Starmarket, Aina, No Knife, Hey Mercedes, Bluetip, and Kerosene 454, will surely find this sound appealing. However, Pilot To Gunner's value lies not in simply rehashing this lineage, but in its contemporary expression of that legacy. And indispensable to discussing this work is J. Robbins' recording. The drums have an airy feel, the guitars spread out to the left and right, the vocals come forward without getting buried, and the dynamics of each instrument intertwining organically. The aesthetics and production work honed on Jawbox and Burning Airlines albums are fully showcased here, ideally supporting Pilot To Gunner's tracks. While inheriting the spirit of the golden age of 90s indie rock\/emo\/post-hardcore, it never ends as a mere rehash. This album, a must-listen for anyone discussing contemporary post-hardcore, combines the weight of nearly 30 years of experience with the band's unwavering vitality. Includes liner notes by emo\/post-hardcore experts. Tracklist: 1. Drop The Sun 2. Ship Jumpers 3. We're Blasting To Masses 4. Rightside Out 5. Razor Drop 6. A Billion Milligrams 7. Total Rager 8.
