“Airplanes was created at the group’s rented house off of Ellis Street in Bellingham. It was recorded on a reel-to-reel eight-track recorder. With Walla’s bedroom in the attic, the band inserted a microphone through a hole in the floor to the living room where vocals were tracked. Gibbard’s writing was primarily influenced by Idaho indie rockers Built to Spill; in an interview with Vice, he noted that Perfect from Now On, the band’s 1997 opus, was “the only thing I was listening to at that point.” He continued: “There’s some flagrant Built to Spill ripoffs on that record. I was really influenced by Rex and Bedhead and a lot of these slower kinds of bands.” ”
