As an artist, one of the most extraordinary gifts is the ability to convert life's experiences and emotions into music, transmu'ng pain into beauty, tragedy into art. With our latest album, 'Flamingo,' we embarked on this creative journey. The inception of this project dates back to 2022, a year marked by a period of separation that was both challenging and transformative.
'Flamingo' is not just an album; it is a voyage through the labyrinth of heartache and healing. Each track resonates with the overarching theme of the album, yet each presents a unique interpretation of it. Every song echoes the same meaning, the same core narrative, but from a different emotional lens. The listener is invited to explore this kaleidoscope of feelings, making their way from sorrow to hope, despair to resilience.
The Flamingo bird served as a symbol and inspiration for this album. In nature, flamingos are renowned for their life balance, effortless grace, and remarkable ability to stand on one leg, representing stability amidst life's challenges. This motif resonated with our journey, becoming the lighthouse guiding the course of this project. The naming of the album was indeed an intriguing blend of intuition and serendipity.
The decision to name it 'Flamingo' was made long before the album cover was finalized. Fate, it seems, conspired to bring us to a picturesque Italian seaside town, Gatteo a Mare, where a hotel called 'Flamingo' stood as a beacon on the coastline. As the azure waves lapped the golden sand, and the setting sun painted the sky with its warm hues, the vibrant 'Flamingo' hotel became a spectacle to behold. Our dear friend and accomplished photographer Maximillian Hetherington was with us during this trip. Maximillian had also shot our debut album cover 'It Was Meant To Happen,' and once again, his lens captured the magic of the moment.
Amid laughter, Max clicked numerous photographs, one of which became the perfect embodiment of our album – the 'Flamingo' hotel against the gorgeous Italian blue-sky backdrop. The unexpected alignment of the album's name, symbol, and the cover image felt nothing short of des'ny. It was as if all the pieces of this creative puzzle had finally come together, giving birth to the sonic journey that is 'Flamingo.'
'Flamingo' is not just an album but a tes'mony of resilience, a testament to the human ability to stand tall amidst life's turbulence, embodying the graceful balance of the flamingo.

Similar to King Gizzard anything this band releases is pure gold.
I remember finding them a couple of years ago during a not so eventful office day. I was instantly blown away, so as an avid "odd" music collector I did my research, and came to the conclusion that this is one of the greatest band of all time.
I just wish I could get a physical copy. Oh well, one day I will. Aradaan

A wonderful album although the style slightly changed compared to their earlier releases. I was lucky to catch the guys in a small venue in Vienna this summer and had a VERY good time - fantastic live band! Papa Jay (Radio Smorgasbord)
