Flamingods:

Kamal Rasool and three of his four bandmates in Flamingods grew up on Bahrain, a small island in the Persian Gulf, though they’re now based in London. While everyone else on the island was listening to rap and metal, Kamal was travelling the world with his family, collecting percussion instruments along the way, and infecting his friends with the likes of fellow tribal-drumming enthusiasts Animal Collective. Fast forward a few years, and what was originally Kamal’s bedroom project has involved into Flamingods, a psychedelic ethno-folk clergy preaching Sung Tongs sermons to the weary masses. These dudes are a spontaneous bunch known for starting parties that only the cops can stop, so come prepared for an all-out jamboree.

NO CEREMONY///:

These “mysterious Mancunians” are any typographer’s worst nightmare; apart from the slashes in their name (that cause an infinite redirect loop on their last.fm page), they also like to name their songs ‘DELIVERME’, ‘HURTLOVE’ or ‘BREAKINGHEARTS’. Using cold keyboard loops, distorted beats and warped vocals, NO CEREMONY/// shape their bleak and grim aural world.
