Shelflife Records presents the release of the Melbourne shoegaze/psych outfit Flyying Colours this track “Not Today” remix taken from the self-titled 5-track EP
True to their name, Flyying Colours unashamedly display their influences in this debut: tone bending MBV/Swervedriver guitars, Ride’s bass hooks and the familiar soft hush of early 90s male/female vocals. Add to that their own edgy, refreshing pop-mindedness and it makes for five completely brilliant tracks.
The EP includes pile-driving single “Wavygravy”, a layered noise anthem jumped on by national radio and the international shoegaze blogosphere on its Oz release last April. Other stand out tracks are psych-rock opener “Like You Said”, “Feathers” with its chorus-y jangle and lush vocals and the cool-down of closing track “Bugs.”
Formed in 2011, Flyying Colours is Brodie J Brümmer (vox/Guitar), Gemma O’Connor (vox/Guitar) and the drums & bass of brothers Sam and Joshua Dawes. Before “Wavygravy” they received a lot of attention for their explosive live shows, setting them well apart from others occupying Melbourne’s growing 90s/shoegaze scene. Flyying Colours have just completed an Australian tour and are currently recording tracks for their debut album.
