Pete International Airport is the self-titled debut studio album by American neo-psychedelia band Pete International Airport. It was released on 15 September 2010 by record label Custom Made Music.
Background
On the making of the album, Holmström states:
I started coming up with some of the songs back in '97; I just never found the right place for them Some of them didn't work with the band's views and other ones, I started another band to try to do the songs and that didn't work out. So I just ended up doing them on my own, which is something I needed to do as I was growing as a musician and a songwriter.

The album received mixed-to-favorable reviews. Consequence of Sound called the album "a very mellow, bizarre and sure-to-be-discussed fall album", writing that "their weird brand of indie will certainly strike a chord with the crowd that has been building up decade after decade". AllMusic's review was favorable, writing that it "brings back the druggy joys of the younger Dandys circa Dandys Rule OK? and Come Down".
