Flight Brigade (Cancelled)

Flight Brigade have just put the finishing touches to their debut album, co-produced by Gavin Monaghan (The Editors, Kings of Leon, Robert Plant, Paolo Nutini) and mixed alongside Donald Clark (The Knife, Noah & The Whale, Muse) at Artillery Studios with multi-Grammy nominated Mandy Parnell (who mastered the new Bjork album), at the mastering controls. The album is due for release in early Autumn. 

In the build up to The Great Escape Festival and a summer full of live dates, Flight Brigade have released the official music video for their upcoming single ‘Housefire’, a truly remarkable visionary experience. Set in the stunning Welsh mountains, a location that would not look out of place on a Bon Iver video, it follows the story of a girl fleeing the haunting influence of her past. The director utilises powerful imagery with effective cinematography which contrasts starkly against the solitude of the landscape. It is visual poetry, a masterpiece considering it was produced on a ZERO BUDGET! 

‘Housefire’ is an almost haunting, dystopic take on the traditional Appalachian folk music of Oliver Baines childhood growing up in Ohio. Although the song is reminiscent of some of My Morning Jacket’s best tracks, the vocals soar using orchestration similar to Keane’s Tom Chaplin. It is out of this cultural fusion that Flight Brigade have created such a unique and contemporary rock sound.
The momentum keeps growing for Flight Brigade, who have been confirmed for The Great Escape and Glastonbury Festival and are set for a big year ahead.
