New Lands cover
Released

The beginnings of ‘phase two’ of Flying Saucer Attack – it’s never been entirely clear what that meant, though their first batch of releases all loosely sit together as an exploration of the nexus of folk, psych and guitar noise. But New Lands certainly feels like a shift in focus for David Pearce and Flying Saucer Attack; everything feels more electric and saturated here, and the colours of the sound are more silver and steel, rather than the verdant greens and deep blues of FSA’s ‘first phase’. The percussion clanks, crankily, in the background; tape hiss and vocal whisper float across spiky almost-riffs and shifting plates of reverberating guitar. New Lands is constantly in motion.
