Flamingods

Flamingods return with new single ‘Dreams (On The Strip)’, recorded in Atlanta with Grammy award-winning producer Ben H. Allen (Animal Collective, Deerhunter, M.I.A). With its moody synthesisers, gritty drum machines and euphoric chorus, ‘Dreams (On The Strip)’ signifies a new era for the much-loved London quartet, and is their first new music since the release of fourth studio album Levitation in 2019.

Although still barely 30 years old individually, Flamingods have been playing music together under various guises since the age of sixteen. Grounded in their shared youth growing up in Bahrain, it’s this brotherly bond that underpins their near telepathic level of musicality. Having been based out of London for the past decade, the band have earned their reputation as a singular fixture in the UK scene.“We’re a band of mixed-race boys making alternative rock music, something that’s quite rare within our scene” comments Karthik Poduval,“we’re very much influenced by our heritage (Middle Eastern, South Asian, West African and British) but aren’t engrossed in making traditional or obvious rock music. We’d rather make it our own.”
