FLYNN EFFECT are back in 2021! They return from a 2020-sized absence from the scene with the first taste of the record they wrote and recorded last year, a planet-sized song called ‘Andromeda‘.
“We wrote Andromeda in 2020, while the whole world was in chaos. Amid the fear of what was to come and the social unrest, we wanted to imagine a world where solidarity and togetherness are commonplace and the bedrock of our human experience. We are in the midst of a transformation – our way of life and the structures designed to operate in our world are evolving for the first time in this generation, as it finds its voice and what it stands for. Fighting for change and breaking down the divides that separate us is the most important thing for us as a species, as we try to rebuild and create a future we can be proud of.“
Vocalist, Tomina Vincent
Flynn Effect are celebrating the release of the new single with a launch show at Forge Metal Nightclub on Saturday March 13 – which is held at Melbourne’s STAY GOLD. Joining them for the night is Treebeard and Colour & Shade. Tickets are $25 and are available now at EVENTBRITE.
Listen to Andromeda here.
Drawing influences from Coldplay to Birds of Tokyo, via Devin Townsend and Karnivool, the band concocted a blend of seemingly incompatible elements into a whimsical music burrito. In the six years since their inception, self-managed and self-produced (in a bedroom), Flynn Effect have released two studio albums – Skin in 2015 and Obsidian in 2017, followed by the 2018 release of their EP Monument and the 2019 Covers EP Giants, making the latter their 4th release in 6 years.
