LIMITED EDITION SOLID YELLOW VINYL Release Date: 3rd May 2019 The latest record from the psychedelic rock band from London and Bahrain, who mix their Western psych-rock with their love of Eastern disco and funk from the East for what has been described as 'international-psych' or 'exotic-psych'. Levitating! For Fans Of: Snapped Ankles, Thee Oh Sees, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Wooden Shjips "International psych explorers Flamingods are back with brand new album ‘Levitation’ coming out on via Moshi Moshi Records. Inspired largely by the disco, funk and psychedelic sounds coming out of the Middle East and South Asia in the 70s, the album channels these influences through a vision soaked in mysticism, positivity and sun-drenched imagery. During the process of writing and recording ‘Levitation’, Flamingods for the first time in four years found themselves living in the same continent, it’s this new unified feel that defines the confident and eclectic sound of the album. ‘Levitation’ is the follow-up to Flamingods’ breakthrough 2016 album ‘Majesty’ and follows their ‘Kewali’ EP release for Moshi Moshi in 2017 and a one-off release with Dan Carey for his Speedy Wunderground singles club. During this time they’ve performed live sessions at 6Music (with Gilles Peterson & Lauren Laverne), KEXP, Boiler Room and have been travelling the globe spreading their exotic psychedelia to the masses and getting people dancing from Austin to Amsterdam."
