Amusement Parks On Fire came to prominence in 2004 with the release of the eponymous debut album, conceived and consummated by the then-adolescent founder Michael Feerick and phonically actualised on a shoestring with Nottingham cohabitant Daniel Knowles. Issued on Geoff Barrow (of Portishead)’s Invada label, it was described by the New Musical Express as hedonistic teenage genius .
A live line-up was essentially preformed and extensively performed with the likes of Dinosaur Jr, M83 and dEUS among innumerable other acts of the era. The unit then retreated to Sigur Rós’ private swimming-pool sanctuary Sundlaugin in Álafoss, Iceland to complete the venturesome sophomore release ‘Out Of The Angeles’, during which time they experimented with sleep, food and sunlight deprivation at the insistence of V2 Records.
The collective distributed a series of medium-form concept singles ; Blackout in 2005, In Flight in 2006 and A Star Is Born in 2007, which according to Rough Trade s review showcased other dimensions to APOF s otherworldly sound, Feerick s classical influences… hinting at a more bullish Amusement Parks direction to come , with Drowned In Sound dubbing it a dizzying mini-epic… a chilly metaphysical beauty .
After several years of international incidence the band crash-landed in Los Angeles in 2009 to make ‘Road Eyes’ with producers Michael Patterson (Beck, NIN) and Nicolas Jodoin (Arcade Fire, BRMC). Again inspired by the locale, the collection was intended as a skewed Californian contemporary-classical , with Alternative Press characterizing it as ‘sun-drenched, challenging and gratifying… a near-perfect album’.
