THREE MILE PILOT - THE INEVITABLE PAST IS THE FUTURE FORGOTTEN (2LP)

Three Mile Pilot The Inevitable Past Is The Future Forgotten on 2 x Vinyl LP

The rumor of a new Three Mile Pilot album has been circulating for over a decade, further fueling the mystery and mythology that has swirled around the San Diego trio since the 1997 release of what was thought to be their swan song, the enormously influential Another Desert, Another Sea.

That brings us to the aptly-named The Inevitable Past Is The Future Forgotten, the first Three Mile Pilot album in 13 years and the first to be written, performed, recorded and produced entirely by the original three members in their own home studios. As such it is the most uncompromising album since their inception, it also just happens to be their most accessible. While Pinback and The Black Heart Procession were obviously influenced by 3MP in their early days, the inverse can now be heard, with many of the songs on The Inevitable Past bearing the unmistakable and inevitable stamps of Pinback and The Black Heart Procession. This circular influence is what makes the album so brilliant; instead of a proper hiatus, 3MP’s progression was charted vicariouslythrough its members’ other groups. As such, The Inevitable Past makes good on the promising glimpses heard through a long but breathless wait.
