It’s Friday so we’re listening to something more upbeat. Today we’re listening to Fling II, an American kosmische band formed in Ann Arbor, Michigan. We found them on Wednesday’s Across the Horizon episode with Jeffrey Silverstein. Brad Gowland, a drummer and modular synthesist, started the band and recruited Richard Murphy (guitar), Adam Narimatsu (keys), Justin Reed (bass), and Dave Van Dusen (guitar, pedal steel). They’ve been described as “neo-krautrock,” inspired by bands like Neu! and Harmonia but also Steve Reich and Brian Eno. Gowland observed to 15Questions, “Krautrock kind found a way to take these interests in sound experimentation, textural elements, and spatialization that came out of Stockhausen, or Schoenberg, or even Schaeffer and drape it all over the structure of rock or psych.” We’re playing their self-titled debut album from 2022 as well as their third LP, 3, which came out in August.
