What’s up with FLAMINGO CRASH?
A few years ago in an inner-city suburb of Brisbane a band was formed “…with one foot entrenched in the past (Wire, XTC, Talking Heads, The Ex and all the good stuff) and another in some ethereal neverland.”
Now the Crash, as they are affectionately known, have finally decided to make a record.
After the recent release of ‘TOYS / SHOOT THE LIGHTS OUT’ Double A-Side 7” (the first 500 were available on limited edition green vinyl) the band have embarked on their debut full length album, produced by Australian institution Magoo (Midnight Oil, Gerling, Regurgitator) and mastered by Steve Fallone (The Strokes, TV on the Radio) in NYC.
The LP is shaping up to be one of the years most dynamic releases, merging old ideas with new consequences, spiky guitars & silky synths, and ecstasy with melancholy as if they had been living together as far as you can remember; songs about a place where the city kids worry about snakes, and the country kids worry about the cities.
The co-ed four piece have been rapidly building momentum over the last few years, establishing themselves on frequent Australian tours and supports for acts diverse as Lily Allen, Wolfmother, The Go! Team, The Bravery, You Am I, The Presets, Louis XIV, Infadels and Youth Group.
Even the bands namesake proposes that a FLAMINGO and a CRASH can somehow sit beside each other in harmony?
Here’s hoping the new record helps us realize that somehow, they can.
