Description
Comprising an exceptional line-up featuring Bex Burch (fresh from her debut solo
album on International Anthem), Sarathy Korwar, Tamar Osborn (Collocutor, Dele
Sosimi, Unknown To Known), Danalogue (The Comet Is Coming / Soccer96) and Al
MacSween (Kefaya), the new recordings showcase Flock’s ability to push the
boundaries of the composition process and craft unique tracks based on their
collective spirit.
Recorded amidst the serene landscapes of the Welsh countryside during 2022, 'Flock
II' emerges as a compelling departure from their debut album, which was captured in
a single day at London's Fish Factory. Nestled within the enchanting environs of the
Druidstone, a mystical coastal retreat in West Wales, the group embarked on an
immersive week-long recording session. Here, they crafted unique "jump-off" devices
for each musical piece, drawing inspiration from unconventional structures and
atmospheres.
From diagrams utilising shapes and repeated patterns to a revolving lamp throwing
out dappled light and a mobile app creating intense strobe effects in front of each
musician, each device set a state of mind and a unique approach to their
compositions.
Studio Owz, housed in a converted country church, provided an ideal setting for their
creative exploration. The resulting compositions, ranging from intense to hypnotic,
invite listeners to embark on a deeply personal voyage, weaving their own narratives
amidst the ethereal soundscape.
The fruits of a strong and joyful bond between five of the UK’s finest musicians,
‘Flock II’ stands as another essential recording without genre or category. Cover

the ideal nebulous artistic foil to Flock’s creation.
