The Good Weather for an Airstrike project was initially conceived at the beginning of 2009 to help Winchester, UK-based Tom Honey alleviate the issues caused by suffering from tinnitus, which causes a ringing sensation in the ear and can often result in difficulty sleeping. The idea was to create a collection of relaxing sounds that would help induce sleep.
Since those humble beginnings, GWFAA’s music has been streamed over 60 million times across streaming services as well as receiving airtime on BBC Introducing, Channel 4, KEXP and ABC Radio National. GWFAA is also a featured artist on the sleep, meditation and relaxation app ‘Calm’ (Apple’s App of the year + Google Play Editors Choice) and has been featured on New York Magazine and Nowness.
Since 2018, GWFAA's live band has expanded with the addition of Rob Honey, Benjamin Hill and Nina Smith. They have shared the stage with Flyte, Plaid and Jo Quail . GWFAA’s work draws on all of his musical influences and presents itself as a rich tapestry of lulling drones that hints at a diluted form of post-rock.
