“We like to make noise with instruments collected from around the world,” say the Flamingods, which is an understated way of saying that their ecstatically excellent music sounds like your friend handed you the perfect compilation of snippets of music from Africa, the Middle East and the Far East. Lines blur, ideas come into and out of focus and it all sounds brilliantly exotic and fresh. Listen to their latest album Head of Pomegranate and pretty soon you’ll be hypnotised by their sound.
