Air Traffic Controller - DASH

Air Traffic Controller have created a place all their own in the indie pop world.

Serving in the US Navy as an air traffic controller, singer/songwriter Dave Munro sent home demos written during deployment. This was chapter one for ATC. In the decade that followed, Dave built a legacy for crafting heartfelt, luscious and genuine indie-folk-pop songs that are timeless and classic. The band swiftly emerged from the Boston scene releasing 4 critically applauded albums and touring extensively with an evolving band, now solidified with drummer Adam Salameh, bassist Joe Campbell, guitarist Bobby Borenstein, vocalist/keytarist Emi McSwain, and multi-instrumentalist Steve Scott.

The band took their time writing and demoing their fifth album, and the listeners have not left their side. Streaming to over 300 thousand monthly listeners on Spotify alone, ATC launches their newest album “DASH” on vinyl. Recording throughout the pandemic they met several delays and hardships, but the band continued collaborating, remotely at times, to bring the next chapter of ATC to its debut. On the new album you will hear the band together in Dimension Sound Studios with Boston producer/engineer Dan Cardinal (Darlingside, Henry Jamison, Josh Ritter, Ballroom Thieves) along with longtime ATC collaborators Seth Kasper and Adrian Aiello. The goal was not to match up with past ATC albums, or to meet some expectation, in fact, ATC’s formulas were often set aside in an effort to search from within each member. However, if you have loved anything by ATC, the stories, charm, nostalgia, hooks, DASH will pull you in from the opening line “It was chapter one...”, and take you on a beautiful ride.

Praise for DASH, now available here on Vinyl!

"Their new album, Dash, is a refreshing melodic venture that offers depth with discerned intent rather than a pointlessly dissonant middle-eight." - Far Out Magazine

"Laying down a grooving indie pop backdrop full of rhythmic brass arrangement with Dave Munro spinning melodic vocal leads, “20” sees a celebrated band at the top of their game." - Plastic Magazine

"It’s not often that one gets to hear music from a band that seems about to hit the big times. But if Air Traffic Controller’s latest track “20” — and their 300,000+ monthly listeners — is any indication, then this genre-defying group seems poised to become a household name very soon." - Glasse Factory

"Air Traffic Controller have served up a slice of pure genius with “20.”" - Up To Hear Music
