Slow Pilot is thrilled to announce their latest album, Falling off the Earth, a captivating 11-track journey that dives deep into emotional and sonic landscapes. Produced by Luuk Cox—known for his work with artists like Stromae, Loïc Nottet, and Arsenal—this album marks a new chapter for the band as they explore a sound both haunting and authentic.
The album blends delicate electronica, tape-recorded guitars, and rich harmonies, creating an immersive listening experience. At the forefront is vocalist Pieter Peirsman, whose voice brings a melancholic yet uplifting energy to each track, drawing listeners into an intimate, emotional space.
Much of Falling off the Earth was inspired by the pandemic. During this time, Peirsman volunteered for night shifts at a local hospital, an experience that left a profound mark on his songwriting. The stillness of the nights and the pervasive sense of solitude became fertile ground for the album’s introspective themes, offering reflections on both personal and shared experiences of isolation.
One of the standout tracks, “Parasites,” captures the unsettling realization of how fragile life can be, especially for those in the cultural industry. Written during the pandemic, it explores the rapid marginalization many faced.
The track begins with a restrained, almost detached tone, featuring soft electronics and chilly acoustic guitars, but soon builds to a powerful fusion of frustration and exhilaration—a sonic mirror of the complex emotions that defined this time.

The result is an album that invites listeners into a deeply resonant world, echoing the vulnerability and resilience that Falling off the Earth embodies.
Slow Pilot invites you to dive into Falling off the Earth, an album for anyone who has ever grappled with the delicate balance of hope and vulnerability.
