Shoegaze royalty Flyying Colours drop their best record yet
Jeff Jenkins
STACK Writer
Ten years after their debut single, Melbourne’s kings and queens of shoegaze have released their best record yet with their third album, 'You Never Know'.
And though it's easy to put Flyying Colours into the shoegaze pigeonhole, they’ve actually got a lot going on. Like Something For Kate, they’re making intelligent alternative rock. If it were the ’80s, John Hughes would be putting these songs on soundtracks.
Amidst the powerful fuzzy guitars are undeniable hooks. Their dense sound is punctuated by shining pop moments like Bright Lights, Hit the Road, and Goodbye to Music. Another highlight is the hypnotic Oh, wherein the title is repeated, drone-like, as the ’80s keys set the scene.
Produced by Woody Annison, this is a band that sounds strikingly confident and self-assured – and they’ve delivered.
You Never Know by Flyying Colours drops via Poison City Records.
