Airline Food is a four-piece psychedelic pop outfit from Perth, Australia, formed in 2016. The band consists of Jack Seah, Tom Seah, Jack Annear, and Conor Levy.
Their sound identity is characterized by a blend of neo-psychedelia, synth-pop, and indie rock, heavily influenced by the 'Perth Sound' popularized by acts like Tame Impala and Pond, yet leaning more into a lo-fi, bedroom-pop intimacy. Their career arc shows a steady refinement of this 'sun-bleached' aesthetic, moving from the raw, garage-leaning 'Sunscreen Dream' to the more sophisticated, synth-heavy textures of 'Fragments in Green'. Critically, they are recognized for their ability to evoke specific nostalgic atmospheres through the use of analog-style synthesis and modulated guitar tones. They occupy a niche within the global indie-psych scene that appeals to listeners of 'slacker' rock and dream pop alike. Their influence web connects back to 60s psych-rock and 80s new wave, while their contemporary peers include other Australian psych-pop explorers. The band's work is often praised for its melodic accessibility despite its hazy, experimental production choices.
