‘Fall Away’ captures the colorful DIY spirit of Good Flying Birds
Good Flying Birds have released their latest single, ‘Fall Away,’ featuring backing vocals from Wishy’s Nina Pitchkites and drums by Kevin Krauter. The jangling, noisy guitar-pop track arrives alongside the announcement that the band’s debut release Talulah’s Tape will be issued on Carpark and Smoking Room on October 17.
‘Fall Away’ captures the band’s frenetic energy, layering a paisley power pop swirl at breakneck tempo. Landing somewhere between Olivia Tremor Control and The Ramones, the single serves as a bright and chaotic snapshot of the group’s vision, tying together scrappy guitars, hyperactive bass, and shimmering hooks.
Kellen Baker explains:
“I recorded an iphone voice memo sitting in bed, singing and strumming an unplugged electric guitar, the usual. Sent it to my friend (now roommate) Kevin Krauter to see if he’d be interested in working together on it, figured we’d start from scratch and maybe rearrange some things. He sends back my voice memo with fully tracked drums a day later, played immaculately. He’s a savant. Started going over to his parent’s house in Carmel and built it up from that drum track, he recorded while i played in the corner of the basement over a couple days, broken up by listening to records, sitting in a hot tub, and watching Trances (documentary about nass el ghiwane) and Next (a crazy 2000s dating show). Later I had Nina Pitchkites (my friend and neighbor) come over and track some vocals in my bedroom, she knocked it out right away, she has an amazing voice. My friend Demi Jo was working on the music video for “Down On Me” at the same time in the same room I believe.”
‘Fall Away’ is out now.
