Flamingods: Momentum

Flamingods: Momentum

Described as ethnic pop with elements of noise, psychedelia, tribal and freak folk, the band have long been described as a “carnival of sound” that has no boundaries. A truly unique sound that has landed them praise from the likes of The Guardian and Vice to Dazed & Confused, NME and The Fader. 

Founded in 2009 by Kamal Rasool in Bahrain, now based in the UK, the band puts focus on exploration and experimentation, often taking influence from different cultures around the world by use of an extensive collection of instruments from as far as Nepal, Thailand, Indonesia, Turkey, Japan and Tanzania. 

Having toured Europe and the UK extensively, the band have made a name for themselves in the live music circuit by use of a distinctively vibrant and epic live set that aims to take the bands recorded output to a much grander and explosive scale. A reputation that’s landed them slots at Glastonbury, Latitude Festival, Green Man and many other major festivals around Europe.
Flamingods have released two studio records, Sun (Art is Hard Records) and Hyperborea (Shape Records), a remix LP Moon (Lovers and Lollypops) and have just released their third LP Majesty on Soundway Records.

Momentum funding will help fund touring activity. Touring and playing live is a key part of the Flamingods identity and integral to continuing the new album campaign. Extra marketing support will promote these shows to a much wider audience and help engage new fans.
