FLYYING COLOURS - You Never Know LP (colour vinyl)
Limited edition "Electric Smoke" colour vinyl.
A decade on from the release of their classic debut single ‘Wavygravy’, Australia’s leading shoegaze/dream-pop outfit return with their latest long player. Recorded over a two week period in the summer of 2021 at Red Doors Sounds with long-time producer Woody Annison, Flyying Colours intended to capture a moment in time with recurring themes and sounds which feature throughout the record.
Punctuated by soaring musical moments and grandiose walls of sound, You Never Know launches into familiar territory with the rollicking noise-rock of ‘Lost Then Found’, followed by the catchy, upbeat melodies of ‘I Live in a Small Town’. ‘Oh’ is a nod to ‘Loveless’-era My Bloody Valentine, while the sumptuous ‘Bright Lights’ beams with ethereal beauty as floating melodies and shimmering guitars cascade.
Elsewhere, magnificent pop moments shine through with ’Goodbye To Music’, ‘Modern Dreams’ and the sublime album closer ‘Never Forget’.
