AIR MIAMI "Nicola Six" (TeenBeat Promo Cassette)

If you think this song sounds remarkably familiar, take a listen to Flin Flon's "Swift Current" released almost four years later. Though it's switched around a bit and "Swift Current" is missing the lyrics "Power Generator."

Air Miami, formed in 1994 following the dissolve of Unrest and with an almost obsessive focus on Miami. (It should be noted that Air Miami is a fictional airline.) Though the initial lineup disbanded after only six months, former Unrest members Mark Robinson and Bridget Cross would go on to record one album for 4AD before putting the band on permanent hiatus.

"Nicola Six" (named after a character in Martin Amis' novel London Fields) is among the earliest recordings of Air Miami while bassist Lauren Feldsher (Viva Satellite) and drummer Mike Fellows (Silver Jews) were still in the band.

From the Liner Notes:
"One of Henry Hohauser's first hotels was the little Colony, built in 1935 at 736 Ocean Drive. The facade was a victim of inappropriate brick veneering, but the lobby remains one of the District's prizes with its fireplace faced with green Vitrolite and a Diego Rivera-like mural by Ramon Chatov."
