: Release Notes: \/ , \/ ,
' '
,: UK supergroup Flock return with their anticipated sophomore :,
: album æFlock IIÆ. :
:' ':
,: Comprising an exceptional line-up featuring Bex Burch (fresh :,
: from her debut solo album on International Anthem), Sarathy :
:' Korwar, Tamar Osborn (Collocutor, Dele Sosimi, Unknown To ':
,: Known), Danalogue (The Comet Is Coming / Soccer96) and Al :,
: MacSween (Kefaya), the new recordings showcase FlockÆs ability :
:' to push the boundaries of the composition process and craft ':
,: unique tracks based on their collective spirit. :,
: :
:' Recorded amidst the serene landscapes of the Welsh countryside ':
,: during 2022, 'Flock II' emerges as a compelling departure from :,
: their debut album, which was captured in a single day at :
:' London's Fish Factory. Nestled within the enchanting environs ':
,: of the Druidstone, a mystical coastal retreat in West Wales, the :,
: group embarked on an immersive week-long recording session. :
:' Here, they crafted unique "jump-off" devices for each musical ':
,: piece, drawing inspiration from unconventional structures and :,
: atmospheres. :
:' ':
,: From diagrams utilising shapes and repeated patterns to a :,
: revolving lamp throwing out dappled light and a mobile app :
:' creating intense strobe effects in front of each musician, each ':
,: device set a state of mind and a unique approach to their :,
: compositions. :
:' ':
,: Studio Owz, housed in a converted country church, provided an :,
: ideal setting for their creative exploration. The resulting :
:' compositions, ranging from intense to hypnotic, invite ':
,: listeners to embark on a deeply personal voyage, weaving their :,
: own narratives amidst the ethereal soundscape. :
:' The fruits of a strong and joyful bond between five of the UKÆs ':
,: finest musicians, æFlock IIÆ stands as another essential :,
: recording without genre or category. Cover artwork illustration :
:' is courtesy of the brilliant Muhammad ôRofiö Fatchurofi, ':
,: providing the ideal nebulous artistic foil to FlockÆs creation. :,
