This is a cover of the Azerbaijani rock song "Xezerin Sahilinda," or "Caspian Sea," by the Azeri band Yuxu. The song was recorded in Baku and features local Azeri rock acts 5:59, Banda, Sirr and Gara Dervish. It was recorded during Filligar's summer 2013 trip to Azerbaijan as part of the United States Arts Envoys Program. If you listen closely enough, you can hear the winds from the Caspian Sea captured in the recording.

Translation in Azerbaijani:
Yuxu rok qrupunun məşhur mahnısı "Xəzərin Sahilində" yeni tərzdə Azərbaycanlı rokçuları və Filligar rock qrupu tərəfindən Bakıda səsləndirilmişdir. Əgər siz mahnıya diqqətlə qulaq assanız, Xəzər dənizindən əsən küləyin səsini videoda eşidə bilərsiniz.

Truth & Anger

Recorded near the Venice Beach canals in a turn-of-the century gondola garage just steps from the Pacific surf, Filligar’s upcoming record Keepsakes of the Interior was a meditative exploration for the band. Traveling as cultural ambassadors for the US State Department, Filligar embraced sights and sounds of this global experience. From the Amerindian music of South America to the maritime songs of the Arabian gulf to the emerging punk scenes of the greater Middle East, the quartet’s travels abroad influenced the music and lyrics.

Following singles “Motor Shine” and “White Light Rose” among eleven original tracks, Filligar will release Keepsakes of the Interior on April 21st, 2015. The band kicks off 2015 with a tour produced by Communion Music, the artist collective formed by Mumford & Sons that includes Gotye, Twin Peaks, and Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes. All dates are below.  

Filligar has a prolific catalog of original music, recognized as “of prestige value” by the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP). The band has been called “a fresh take on indie rock” by Paste Magazine, one of music’s “Next Big Things” by SPIN, and “a breath of fresh air” by Consequence of Sound. 

Keepsakes of the Interior is out 4/21/2015 via band imprint Decade Records.

Mood Ring

A cover by Filligar of Bruce Springsteen's 'Atlantic City' recorded at Blue Studios in Los Angeles California in the fall of 2011. 

Atlantic City (Bruce Springsteen Cover) (Live at Blue Studios)

Go these nine awful weeks––
Don’t know how I’m gonna get through it all.
I’m weak, but I’m strong enough to see:
when it’s all done I’m gonna get some sun,
I’m gone get some sleep, I’m gonna get some “Cold Drinks!”
They strung me up on a wheel,
I was spinning on the spokes of steel.
A man whose days are grids counts up the nights that he can live.
And I was upside-down for those moments when the ache was real.
Sunflower Kid!
Feel the weight of the marsh.
The stagnant air can be kind of harsh.
I hope the grapes are sweet
‘cause while the raisin takes the heat
the fifth circle competes.
They strung me up on a wheel,
I was spinning on the spokes of steel.
A man whose days are grids sings in the light that He did give.
And I was upside-down for those moments when the ache was real.
Sunflower, Sunflower Kid,
turn from the shade where the light has hid.
