FLYYING COLOURS
NEW EP - ‘ROYGBIV’
11th MAY ON CLUB AC30 (UK) /12th MAY ON SHELFLIFE (US)

•	“It’s hard not to crush on the extensive, encircling sound of Flyying Colours” – NO FEAR OF POP
•	 “blistering from start to finish, Kevin Sheields’-inspired shadows linger” - CLASH

Melbourne-based shoegazers Flyying Colours return with a second EP of psychedelic pop textures tempered with sugar-rush melodies. The ‘ROYGBIV’ EP is out May 11th on Club AC30 and Shelflife.

Hailing from a country more synonymous with the beachcombers and the sunshine coast than shoegaze luminaries, Flyying Colours have nonetheless been compared to Lush and Ride, weaving smooth, tactile vocals with coarse textures with finely-crafted songwriting. 

True to their name, Flyying Colours unashamedly display their influences on ROYGBIV – tone-bending My Bloody Valentine / Swervedriver guitars, ferocious bass hooks and the familiar soft hush of early 90s dueting vocals. Added to the mix is their own edgy, refreshing pop-mindedness, buoyed by the lush vocal interplay 

On ‘Running Late’ guitars overlap, playing seemingly different melodies and rhythms, as the vocals float up from the ether of the background. Hearkening back to the 80s but also at once sounding thoroughly futuristic, there’s finely-textured guitar loops and lo-fi delay used to get effect throughout the record. ‘Not Today’ and ‘Leaks’ share the same considerable style and skill: successfully channelling not just Kevin Shield’s growling, bending, wall-of-sound guitars, but also Bilinda Butcher’s cooing, unintelligible vocals. The album opener ‘I Don’t Want To Let You Down’ sports a rolling darkwave groove that’s like Joy Division gone psychedelic. 

Formed in 2011, Flyying Colours self-titled EP received a considerable amount of attention, which was then backed up by their explosive live shows, setting them well apart from others occupying Melbourne's fledgling shoegaze scene. A follow-up, ROYGBIV is a snapshot of a band reaching for the heavens and finding themselves reflected in at all over the cosmos: a sign of greater things to come.

here comes the deafening silence
i can hear every clock ticking
wondering if youre even sincere

first a few second than a minute
now im staring at the cieling
wondering if it's something you hear
i think you're stuck inside a moment where you're looking for a meaning
and everybody's been there everybody has that feeling
feels like im standing in the middle of the road
feels like im standing in the middle and an eighteen wheeler washed over me

i have nothing to say
so if you're gonna go
i think im gonna stay

and now i'm pacing in the corner saying go
i know you're feelings
shocked because you thought i would press
for you to change, to reconsider
but i've already been dealing
with knowing we have nothing left

you didn't even get to see me broken in a million pieces
see me on my knees saying hail mary's that this ceases
feels like im standing in the middle of the road
feels like im standing in the middle and an eighteen wheeler washed over me

i have nothing to say
so if you're gonna go
i think im gonna stay

i remember when your eyes gave up
i remember the second of your minds full turn around
when you realized if i left you you have no where to go
i did my best to make it not that way
i did my best to lift you up but you always find a workaround
you're such a coward, it's a cycle and I think that you know
i'm prepared for the emotional violence ya i've already been gearing
up for you to find someone who just doesnt mind dealing
with all of your lazy lies

here comes the defeaning silence i can hear every heart beating
except for fucking yours and now i'm stuck here and im feeling
like im standing in the middle of the road
feels like im standing in the middle and an eighteen wheeler washed over me

i have nothing to say
so if you're gonna go
i think im gonna stay 
i have nothing to say
so if you're gonna go
i think im gonna stay

From Cindygod's EP 2 Out August 14th on Fire Talk

Stream / Buy: https://ffm.to/cindygod

EP2 is the second EP from Cindygod the new project from former Gauntlet Hair members Andy Rauworth and Craig Nice out July 10th 2020 on Fire Talk. Stereogum noted 2018’s EP1 filled with “new wave shimmers and hooks… a sort of ramshackle and scrappy charm.” The new EP doubles down on the hollowed-out saccharine sound of Rauworth’s recent work, while retaining glitchy agitated electronics that pierce together the best of dream pop, post-punk and indie nostalgia. Fans of Gauntlet Hair rejoice! Cindygod is an honest creative extension of some of those original ideas, a little darker & sinister around the edges.
