UK CD RELEASE June 23, 2008 ON SECOND SHIMMY!!!

About Me

after years of exploration and weirdness, the flavor crystals added bubbly liquid and jelloed into a real band, recording "on plastic"(mplsltd 007) as a document of the sleepy wobbly blurry dreamscape vibe they found together...... Checkerboard has been included on a great British psych comp called "TURN ON YOUR MIND" visit here for more info: http://psyilocybinsounds.moonfruit.com/ or DJ Keith's myspace page below in our favorites!......FLAVOR CRYSTALS ARE THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE THE RECORDING OF THEIR FOLLOW UP TO "ON PLASTIC" WITH RECORDING LEGEND, KRAMER!!! Please see Kramer's myspace page and personal site for a glimpse into an amazing career! He has produced/created many of our most deeply loved recordings!THE NEW RECORD IS COMPLETE...the result of a six day whirlwind of tracking and mixing at Flowers Studio during the coldest week of the winter! We can't believe how fast this album formed and how amazing it sounds...we could not have done this without the wonderful talents and enthusiasm of Kramer (Producer Mixer Masterer) and Peter Anderson (Engineer)!!! A huge THANKS to these wonderful guys......FLAVOR CRYSTALS (self titled) was released June 16th as a 12" LP (mplsltd 011) and it is a mindblower...the wobbly dreams continue but this is a darker, more focused yet varied take on the FC vibe.........THE LP IS AVAILABLE NOW IN TWIN CITIES RECORD STORES OR AT http://www.tonevendor.com/ ITS OFFICIAL!!!! FLAVOR CRYSTALS HAVE SIGNED WITH SECOND SHIMMY, THE REINCARNATION OF KRAMER'S LEGENDARY SHIMMY DISC LABEL! THE ALBUM WE RECORDED WITH KRAMER HAS BEEN GIVEN THE NAME "AMBERGRIS" AND WILL BE RELEASED ON CD (distributed in Europe and UK BY CARGO) June 23rd 2008!!!! "Ambegris" is now available domestically through www.secondshimmy.com or itunes! Flavor Crystals at Flowers with Kramer
