After appearances on 3 continents with the likes of The Teenagers (France/ UK), The Black Keys (USA) and 11 broken bones from a NYC taxi cab along the way, Flying Foxes have released their debut single, Lost In Low Cloud. Produced by Flying Foxes with Ned Cooke from Dappled Cities, this two and a half minute anthem was recorded and mixed by Scott Horscroft who mixed The Presets’ Apocalypso and The Panics’ Cruel Guards. The track was mastered at The Exchange in London by Nilesh Patel who was the man behind the desk for Daft Punk - Homework, Bjork - Homogenic and Air - Moon Safari. In the wake of national airplay, as Featured Artist for Triple J’s Unearthed, Lost In Low Cloud looks set to simmer on the airways all summer long.

OR

Flying Foxes tell tall stories spoilt with candour. Their fractured urban fairytales paint portraits of the joy and tears, swagger and fears, the comedy of errors, the cockeyed carers, the avian dancers, the clumsy romancers. The bass buzzes. The beat moves your feet. Your guard retreats. The melody melts, guitar lines compete. You jump on your seat. Your night is complete

OR

The word on the street...

"The rough bedroom production values shine through on this track, yet they've actually managed to pull some insane sounds out of their guitars. 4 Stars" - Vijay Khurana, Triple J FM

"One of those songs you just can't help playing over and over...Destined to be enormous." - Ross Clelland, Drum Media
