Minneapolis alt-rocker Michael Dermot has just released his new album Pilot. As a follow up to his 2011 Kickstarted album Distance Reawakens, Pilot really shows how much Dermot has improved. The songwriting is better, the playing is tighter, the singing is stronger and more developed, and the production sounds great!

I’ve been a personal friend of Michael for years now, so I may be biased, but there’s no denying that there’s some genuine talent here. I was even given the opportunity to edit the music video for his first single No Through Road. This video was made to parody the Marble Hornets youtube series about Slenderman and features the unmastered version of the track.

If you like alternate rock bands such as Weezer and They Might Be Giants, then I’m sure you’ll dig Dermot’s music. Check it out on bandcamp, and give him a like on Facebook!
