Flying Moon In Space Zwei

Flying Moon In Space's latest album will arrive off the back of their highly praised and sold-out self-titled debut album and a recent remix 12" that featured reworkings of tracks from the S/T album courtesy of kindred spirits Xiu Xiu, Suuns, A Place To Bury Strangers, Minami Deutsch, Camera and Warm Graves. Where Flying Moon In Space's debut album was an extension of their live shows, long improv performances that would last hours at a time, the arrival of the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown restrictions meant they were forced to reinvent their creative approach on its follow-up. 

Adopting the childhood game 'Stille Post' (or 'Telephone'), the six members would each send the demos around in a circle, recording a single line or changing up the tempo, until the songs took on a life of their own. These demos were then taken into a studio deep in the forests of the Czech Republic and Zwei was born. 

"Musically it turned out to be somehow something completely new to us. As a result Zwei has a more structured, poppy side compared to our debut, even though sound wise we opened up to more experimental layers - using synthesisers for the first time, as well as loops and field recordings of the church and surrounding forest.
