Flaamingos - Flaamingos

Vinyl LP pressing. Pounding analog drum machines. Rumbling basslines that are as moody as they are thoroughly danceable. Atmospheric washes of echo-laden synth textures. Jangling guitar sounds and choruses that resonate with emotion. Listening to Flaamingos' self-titled debut album, you'd be forgiven for thinking that it might come from the north of England, or somewhere else where the skies are consistently leaden and everybody always wears black. In fact, it's a bunch of (black-clad) Angelinos, and their sound includes traces of their past Psych/Shoegaze inclinations, but also Krautrock, Post-Punk, Synth Pop and New Romantic shimmer.
