The Airborne Toxic Event is an American indie rock band from Los Angeles. The band consists of singer and guitarist Mikel Jollett, guitarist and keyboardist Steven Chen, bassist Noah Harmon, drummer Daren Taylor, and keyboardist and violist Anna Bulbrook. Named after a section of the book White Noise, by Don DeLillo, the group incorporates string instruments and keyboards, along with a standard rock lineup of guitar, drums, and bass guitar. A great mix of sounds and passionate lyrics.
The inspiration for this album came as Jollett was in the middle of writing a novel. As he read the words on the pages he realized that his work would be better suited as a rock album. You can tell from the poetry of his lyrics that he has a way with words.
Give them a listen and check them out when they come to Ottawa March 5th at Zaphods.
