detail: having persuaded flamingods to dj at an east london food bank fundraiser (£7k raised for eat or heat), byrd out hounded them to produce a remix ep of their 2017 kewali ep, bringing together a team of intriguing artists. erol alkan s co-conspirator in beyond the wizard s sleeve, richard norris takes mixed blessings in a more a dancefloor friendly direction, liverpool 3 piece stealing sheep paint a hypnotic gloss on the title track, bringing out the colours in a downtempo sunrise of a remix, made for 6am, the quietus darlings vanishing twin s remix starts at a run and carries on from there, most obviously absorbing the middle eastern vibe. the ep is a step forward at a time when the world seems bent on looking backwards. artwork by james burgess, mastered by the legendary noel summerville.

flamingods are set to return with “majesty”, the band’s third album and debut release on soundway records. “majesty” is the follow up to the band’s critically acclaimed 2014 second album “hyperborea”. with this new album the five-piece have taken their sound in a new direction with a rich and multi-layered album brimming with diverse influences that reflect their multi-cultural backgrounds. the shimmering 10-track album crosses blissful psychedelia with a rich spectrum of the band s sonic inspirations. majesty was written and arranged with a conceptual narrative, cohesive both musically and lyrically, following the story of protagonist yuka on his journey of enlightenment. the record is split in two, morning/light/good (tracks 1-5) and evening/dark/evil (tracks 6-10) that unravels track-by-track as the record plays out.
the vinyl release includes a download code.
