Farflung Announce New Album 5 Due May 27
The May 27 release of Farflung‘s new album, 5, on Heavy Psych Sounds coincides with the long-underappreciated Californian space rockers’ previously-announced appearance at Freak Valley 2016. I don’t know if that appearance is coming as a part of a tour or not, but the new album reportedly finds the band veering into the desert, stylistically and literally, which seems fair enough coming after Farflung‘s kosmiche split with Fatso Jetson (review here), released in 2015 also via Heavy Psych Sounds, and should only make them all the more welcome at the German festival that will apparently play host to its release. No audio yet, but May’s still a ways off. Plenty of time for such things.
Cover art is suitably spacious. That and the info for the album follow here, hoisted off the PR wire:
L.A. space rock legends FARFLUNG unveil artwork and details of their new album “5”, out this May on Heavy Psych Sounds.
Los Angeles-based cult space rock outfit FARFLUNG is proud to announce the release of their long-awaited new album “5” on Heavy Psych Sounds this spring.
It’s been eight years since long-running Californian space rockers FARFLUNG released their last full-length A Wound In Eternity. After a handful of split releases in the early 2010’s, the band is back with their long-awaited follow up on Heavy Psych Sounds Records.
This new album entitled 5 features guest appearances by the likes of Nik Turner (Hawkwind), David Catching (QOTSA, EODM) and Gene Trautmann (QOTSA, EODM). It was recorded at Saturn Moon Studio, Tarantula Ranch and Rancho de la Luna, conferring upon the record a recognizable desert sound.
