Adelaide singer-songwriter is back with a brand new band and a killer new song. “Blame it on the Aeroplanes” sets the bar incredibly high for Todd Sibbin and the Acadian Driftwood and their new LP A Set of Knives, A Pair of Pens, which is scheduled for a midyear release.
I knew before even reading the press release that this was a song that came from deep personal experience. It’s just got that raw grit of emotion running through it. Todd penned the track when his nearest and dearest began to move away, and he was struggling with their leaving. It’s just so achingly good.
You can hear it and other songs from the album when Todd Sibbin and the Acadian Driftwood launch the single at the following shows.
10 May 2014 – Wesley Anne, Melbourne (Full Band)
23 May 2014 – The Newsagency, Sydney (Solo)
