We’re pleased to bring you the premiere of Flyying Colours’ debut album Mindfullness (listen below), being released through Club AC30.

Residing in a dream-world that sits somewhere between psych, indie, grunge and shoegaze, the Australian band’s beautifully dynamic new offering showcases their talent for uniting a delicate vocal melody with a satisfying thick wall of abrasive drums and guitars.

Leading track and first single “It’s Tomorrow Now” further stirs the melting pot. Opening with a chaotic looped squeal, the knockout punch of the frenzied opening riff and steady, driving drums sets the bar high for the nine tracks that are to follow.

“Long Holiday” echoes the sun-tinged indie of the ‘90s, layered with ethereal harmonies and languid, hazy guitars, whilst the phenomenal “1987” is punchy and playful; reminiscent of the intelligent garage-indie of Broken Social Scene. Fuzzy psychedelic track “Mellow” is reverb-drenched, punctuated by distant vocals and dense sonic guitars. The post-rock drone of “Roygbiv” follows, and “Sun Hail and Rain”‘s continuous percussive drive and grooving bassline allows the perfectly aligned male/female vocals to shimmer. Title track “Mindfullness” employs a post-punk sway, buzzing with distorted guitars and power chords.

The band comments:

“This is our debut record, MindFULLness. It has meant a great deal to us to make, and to complete this album. Sometimes something just has to happen before anything else can, and this record was our something. Some has come before, and much will come after, but this record was us, right then, and right now. Listen at a comfortably loud volume. Listen to alone, or with friends. Take from it what you want, give to it what you can. Thanks for being here.”

About Flyying Colours:

Formed in 2011 in Brunswick by school friends Brodie and Gemma, they played every show they could week in, week out in Melbourne’s bustling inner north to finesse their sound. Debut single Wavygravy (2013) perfectly set the scene by truly capturing the unhinged essence of a Flyying Colours show. But the recent addition of the impressive abilities of Andy on drums and Mel on bass have taken that unhingedness to undreamt-of-levels, making the beautiful trip of their live show, something to truly marvel.

The Melbourne quartet have since spent the last year touring with label mates pinkshinyultrablast as well as Johnny Marr, Brian Jonestown Massacre and A Place To Bury Strangers, whilst singles Not Today and Running Late taken from their second EP, ROYGBIV garnered heavy rotation on enormous radio stations worldwide, including KEXP, BBC6, JJJ, RRR and FBi. They hit #47 on the CMJ Radio top 200 in the states, sat in the UK’s Amazing Radio charts for weeks, and were championed by Clash, 405, Stereogum, Wonderland and NME. With the September release of Mindfullness, 2016 seems set to be just as busy.
