Flyying Colours are a band that have perfected their sonic punch and ‘you never know’ is another infectious and highly rewarding listen of exhilarating sound and joyous harmony.
Shoegaze dreampop four-piece Flyying Colours release their stunning third studio album. formed in Australia in 2011, Flyying Colours released their debut single ‘Wavygravy’ in 2013, honing their sound on the Melbourne live scene and have picked up high praise along the way alongside heavy rotation across worldwide radio including BBC radio 6 music and kexp. the band released their critically acclaimed sophomore album ‘Fantasy Country’ in 2021 with the nme describing the release as “saturated dream-pop vistas”. recorded over a two-week period in the summer of 2021 at Red Doors Sounds with producer Woody Annison, Flyying Colours intended to capture a moment in time with recurring themes and sounds which feature throughout ‘you never know’. opening with the rollicking noise-rock of ‘lost then found’ and the catchy, upbeat melodies of ‘i live in a small town’, Flyying Colours are an unashamed wall of sound. ‘oh’ is a nod to ‘loveless’ era my Bloody Valentine while the sumptuous ‘Bright Lights’, beams with an ethereal beauty as floating melodies and shimmering guitars cascade.
Flyying Colours release their stunning third studio album. “Fantasy Country” is rich in sonic texture and shimmering atmospherics with a heavy dose of melody. From the swooning, sludgy ‘Goodtimes’ and urgent noise-fest of ‘Big Mess’, to the gorgeous melodic pop of ‘OK’, Flyying Colours look to redefine noise within the context of pop music. Elsewhere, ‘It’s Real’ is perfect, summery dreampop while the crushingly loud ‘White Knuckles’ and chugging ‘Boarding Pass’ is a hazy, echo-laden spaced-out affair. Having released their critically acclaimed debut album “Mindfullness” in 2016,

Our AU tour begins this weekend, followed (finally) by our rather belated EU/UK shows…I feel like I should say…and it feels strange to say…that these shows will be the last time we perform many of these songs (in these cities) live. After countless scrawled (and as we grew up printed) setlists placed conveniently just out of sight on sticky stage carpets, it is now time for us to say goodbye to much of our music (forever) – and hello to something (shiny and) new for our future. While this may sound odd and/or a little dramatic, this is just something we have to do that is very personal and important to us. We are forever grateful for the love and support given to this music and have revelled in every dropped chord, forgotten lyric and wrong pedal we have stepped on along the way. We look forward to sharing it all with you live one last time. For those places we haven’t been able to tour much (or any) of this music, we endeavour to make that happen and won’t retire “the hits” in these places until we do. This has felt particularly strange to type…see you at the show Flyying Colours
