Bugs, however, is arguably their most melodic contribution, and a fitting finale that will leave listeners inadvertently swaying.

More Flyying Colours More Flyying Colours


 

These guys know their way around a distortion pedal, epitomising the shoegaze genre as it stands today. From the outset, Flyying Colours craft a hazy and dream-like soundscape that transitions seamlessly from track to track, dominated by breathy vocals and guitars drenched in reverb. It's undoubtedly a psychedelic journey, but one that's understated and smothered in a thick, tonal fog. Debut single Wavygravy builds into static frenzy and sounds like the musical love child of Tame Impala/early Dandy Warhols. Bugs, however, is arguably their most melodic contribution, and a fitting finale that will leave listeners inadvertently swaying.
