Quilt - Tired & Buttered

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.

Flyying Colours - Running Late

"Got Your Money" is the B-side from our Record Store Day 7". It's being released on clear orange vinyl this week. Check http://recordstoreday.com/ for details. 

It is one of the earliest TP songs, essentially a lost number from the Sunken days. It's a song loosely born around the movie True Romance, but upon its revival was also inspired by current events in our country. Jah Bless the Guap.

Wild Nothing // Letting Go (Official Single)

Formed in January 2009, Girls Names quickly garnered recognition outside of the confines of their hometown of Belfast with the release of their eponymous debut EP in 2010 through New York's Captured Tracks. A mini-album through London imprint Tough Love soon followed, setting the foundations for their critically acclaimed debut LP Dead To Me, released in April last year again by Tough Love in Europe and cult West Coast label Slumberland Records in the US. 

Girls Names return in 2012 and are hinting at a slightly different direction and its all the more positive for it. This new single titled ‘A Troubled See’ makes up one half of a 7” split with label mates Weird Dreams. The release will be available from Tough Love records on 25th June and Slumberland Records the following day. The track itself has a wonderful simplicity, an endearing guitar hook that pulls the hip muscles back and forth yet staying that side of the dirty track where it’s ok to hang out. The band will also be playing a handful of shows in May including a performance at Primaverafestival in Barcelona. 

After a successful tour of Europe in October last year supporting stand alone single ‘Black Saturday’, Girls Names began to hint at a possible directional shift away from their often misperceived surf and indie-pop roots into something more a kin to Krautrock and Psychedelia. Indeed, the band has expanded to a four-piece and has spent the last six months in virtual seclusion honing and developing a more progressive and expansive sound, feeding on the darker sides of Echo and The Bunnymen, Spacemen 3, The Birthday Party and David Bowie's Low. 

So here we are in 2012 and Girls Names are going to come out of hiding with a sophomore record and right now ‘A Troubled See’ is as solid an introduction to the forthcoming chapter as you’re going to get.
