Bahrain-raised, London-based Flamingods released their 5th album, Head of Pomegranate, on 13 October 2023 via The Liquid Label. The album was recorded in Atlanta with Grammy award-winning producer Ben H. Allen (Animal Collective, Deerhunter, M.I.A), and sees the band traverse themes of grief, spirituality, culture, identity and recovery. They unveiled the project over a series of dynamic tracks including ‘Dirty Money,’ ‘Tall Glass,’ ‘Gutterball’ and ‘Dreams (On The Strip).’ A joyous return from the much loved quartet.
Although still barely 30 years old individually, Flamingods have been playing music together under various guises since the age of sixteen. Grounded in their shared youth growing up in Bahrain, it’s this brotherly bond that underpins their near telepathic level of musicality. Having been based out of London for the past decade, the band have earned their reputation as a singular fixture in the UK scene.“We’re a band of mixed-race boys making alternative rock music, something that’s quite rare within our scene” comments Karthik Poduval,“we’re very much influenced by our heritage (Middle Eastern, South Asian, West African and British) but aren’t engrossed in making traditional or obvious rock music. We’d rather make it our own.”
