The Flies

I have finally heard it all. Imagine if Kathleen Turner’s voice was that of a male’s and you have The Flies . I got this press release and thought it would be GOOD to pass on, and just remember, smokey voice.

After 8 years on bass with Spiritualized & 3 years as lead singer with Lupine Howl, Sean Cook returns and emerges as the frontman of The Flies with a self-titled, download only mini album released on June 4 th on No Carbon Records (Universal).

The Flies’ musical heritage is nothing short of impeccable as the three band members have worked with such luminaries as Massive Attack, Tricky, Goldfrapp , The Jesus & Mary Chain, Elizabeth Fraser (Cocteau Twins) and various members of Portishead – to name a few. The debut Flies album entitled ‘All Too Human’ will be released in the uk in October 2007. This first single entitled ‘High’ is out 13/8, the band are planning to work with Julien Temple on the video for that track next month. The second single is ‘Walking On The Sand’ released 6/10 – this is the track that is attached. The Flies are currently on a short run of warm-up gigs in the UK.
