FLYING MACHINES play emotive and dramatic music, drawing upon influences as diverse as jazz, pop, progressive rock and metal to create an utterly unique and modern sound. Formed by guitarist Alex Munk in 2014, FLYING MACHINES features some of the most innovative young musicians to emerge in recent years from the UK jazz scene, Matt Robinson on piano/keyboards, Conor Chaplin on electric bass and Dave Hamblett on drums. Centred on Alex's unique compositional approach, FLYING MACHINES fuse visceral, rock-out guitar improv with anthemic melodies and lusciously textured soundscapes. It's a sound shot through with the here and now of London's cutting-edge music scene, a decadent mash up of free-wheeling improvisations, prog rock energy and ambient meditations that never detracts from the emotive lyricism at the music's core. Having spent the last year or so touring all over the UK to rave reviews, the band have now recorded their first album, a wickedly bold and uncompromising debut that promises to be one of the most hotly anticipated releases of 2016. "Sweet, lyrical passages blend with impossible prog-like time signatures to create a fresh, modern sound with its own distinctive character" Peter Jones, LondonJazzNews "Incredible musicianship, tight and crisp" Jez Nelson, Jazz FM "Heartbreaking melodies that hang, shimmering, until someone just has to let loose" Adie Kaye, Cellars and Lofts
