Music News - Flamingo Pier Release Debut Album, Share Video For Lead Track
04 June 2021 - 0 Comments
Today, Tamaki Makaurau/Auckland-based music makers, DJs and party throwers, Flamingo Pier release their debut self-titled album on London’s Soundway Records as they announce a second Auckland date following the sellout
of the first. See full dates below.
The new record is accompanied by a brand new video for lead single Eternal which harnesses all the cut-loose dancefloor vibes the collective are celebrated for. Featuring an array
of colourful footage of their sold-out parties and a behind-the-scenes peek at the album recording process, the video is the perfect primer for Flamingo Pier’s album release tour this July.
The euphoric grooves of Eternal, as well
as previously released single ‘Last Call’ co-produced by and featuring Aotearoa Jazz legend Nathan Haines, along with vocals from Jess Penson (Kedu Carlo), are gathering up plays on commercial radio giant George FM and
alternative radio across the country alike. Honey and Make You Wonder celebrated an entry on the NZ Alt Charts last week.

Channelling classic emotive house, to disco, Afro and jazz funk on their debut album, Flamingo Pier cite a wide range of musical influences such as Khruangbin, Roisin Murphy, Peven Everett, house legends Masters at Work and Brazilian artist Tim Maia. This translates into an uplifting but nostalgic current running throughout the album - reflecting on last chances, soul-searching and longing for the carefree days of the dance floor.
Montreal based music purveyors Bolting Bits noting "elements of funk, disco, and jazz, all built around Afro-centric percussive elements."
In celebration of the album release, these music makers and DJs are throwing a few parties for themselves.
