    Artist description
    Solo project. Richard Wilson is Racing paper planes and vice versa. I make music that sometimes sucks and sometimes makes me feel good :) I'd like to think of this project as a vehicle to let thoughts and ideas transform into the universal language we call music.
    Music Style
    accoustic /alternative country/what ever. You tell me : )
    Musical Influences
    Will Oldham, Nicolai Dunger, Red House Painters, Low, Onelinedrawing, Songs:Ohia, R.E.M., Bowie, Pearl Jam, Spain, Bear Quartet, The soundtrack of our lives, Jeremy Enigk, Radiohead, Slayer, and so many more. Keeps adding all the time.
    Similar Artists
    This is really not for me to say. Hopefully I have a unique sound : ) I don't really know, but somewhere in between Red House Painters, Songs Ohia and Will Oldham
    Artist History
    I started playing drums at the age of 4, and singing has always been there. I have since played drums in everything from jazz fusion outfits to heavy metal bands and even a country band.. Now it's mostly accoustic rock stuff I guess. The last two ep's I made has been made with help of other musicians. I think I may stick to using different musicians on each recording I do... Could be interesting. I have completed a US tour (Opening for Annika Bentley and June Panic) and released my first album "Morning scars" on Tract records.

    Press Reviews
    Old reviews from when it was all about being young and emo... Now I'm bored and old : ) Acoustic guitars and emotional lyrics in the spirit of Post-Grunge bands like Live. Production is satisfactory and lends to the music well. If you like: Live, Bush, Soundgarden -www.audiogalaxy.com- *I personally don't agree about the bush/live post grunge connection (but I love Soundgarden) but it's all in the ear of the beholder, right?*/Richardmp3.lycos.com says:"Lyrical, melodic and jagged guitar work gets a chance to shine against equally lyrical bass work. What sounds like a drum machine relays a tinny, yet solid sound while the vocals flutter through a haze of treble. Yet another trip to the Zen Arcade.
