Petty and Pink Floyd” _– **Amplify Music Mag**

in November, ahead of which they present the lead track [**‘Fever Dream’**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fyoutu.be%2f3bpTaaM5Cow&umid=a4f86a6f-1e5a-452b-9572-02b7c7a639c6&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-9bd59261a542553013e2cc66180419d6c29b2bed).

Based in Atlanta, I Am a Rocketship is a duo comprised of **Eric Weissinger **and**
L E Kippner,** who mix smooth impressionistic lyrics and rock guitar with a dash
of Dirty South beats and psychedelic bombast.

Both raised on folk and classical music, the two later discovered bands such as 
Joy Division, My Bloody Valentine, Massive Attack and Sigur Ros. Suckers for a pop
hook, I Am a Rocketship is a self-contained duo, who write, record and create art
and videos without the involvement of other contributors.

The new ‘Lies and Legends’ album is their most ambitious collection to date. These
ten songs are about the appeal, in trying times, of lies and legends over reason
and love. They give people hope, a feeliong of belonging, and frequently, a license
to do terrible things in the name of their belief.

“When facts are scary, people turn to belief. I guess these are songs about failth,
how it can be comforting, but blinding,” says guitarist and programmer **Eric Weissinger.**

All the music on the ‘Lies and Legends’ album was recorded on a notebook computer
during early 2021 – a very productive year for the band given the amount of time
spent under lockdown, with late 2020 also bringing their[ **‘oRAnGE’ EP**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fiamarocketship.bandcamp.com%2falbum%2forange&umid=a4f86a6f-1e5a-452b-9572-02b7c7a639c6&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-ab023d62d3504808a208996ac436d9960171f0c4),
a release laced with frustration, sadness and rage over the rise of authoritarianism
and accelerating environmental collapse.

Earlier, I Am a Rocketship released their** **[**‘Ghost Stories’**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fiamarocketship.bandcamp.com%2falbum%2fghost%2dstories&umid=a4f86a6f-1e5a-452b-9572-02b7c7a639c6&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-a8db9f4b3430c3ed95bd16dae052d3b549525553)
LP (April 2020), [**‘Mind Grafitti’**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fiamarocketship.bandcamp.com%2falbum%2fmind%2dgrafitti&umid=a4f86a6f-1e5a-452b-9572-02b7c7a639c6&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-781924362e0de062a7422a6542b7cbaa974a004b)(
2019) and debut offering **‘Mission Control’** (2016).

Eric Weissinger used to back up various artists, opening for bands such as **The
Wedding Present, The Black Crowes, James, Cracker** and **Portastatic**. But everything
changed thanks to a chance meeting with L E Kippner – cellist, scientist, radio 
DJ and singer for Swedish synth-pop duo Neobox. At first forming **Hitchcock Blondes**
in Ohio, they relocated to Atlanta for a fresh start as I Am a Rocketship.

As of September 24, ‘Fever Dream’ will be available as an instant grat download 
on [**Bandcamp**](https://ddec1-0-en-ctp.trendmicro.com/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fiamarocketship.bandcamp.com&umid=a4f86a6f-1e5a-452b-9572-02b7c7a639c6&auth=65a620fa4b6e2edf0405a6ed61dc7465231096cd-97a6cb9318724bfced7efd0e9b9bc3e1ecc6b39b),
