UK supergroup Flock return with their highly anticipated sophomore album ‘Flock II’, set for release on the 25th October via Strut Records.

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.

New single ‘Capillary Waves’, presents a stomping, three minute reminder of Flock’s raucous energy and unwavering commitment to group experimentation. Starting off with an intoxicating flurry of instrumentation, the track breaks through to a melodic, electronic and horn-led experience that solidifies their genre-spanning prowess through three minutes of potent, meditative and contemplative vitality.
