Following the release of their self-titled debut album in December 2020, Flying Moon In Space – a Leipzig-based group that deal in an experimental melting pot of psychedelic pop, krautrock, techno and math-rock – are now releasing a new EP made up of remixes of tracks from the debut album by the likes of Xiu Xiu, Suuns, A Place To Bury Strangers, Minami Deutsch, Camera and Warm Graves. On the new EP, which is due for release January 28th 2022, Jamie Stewart of prolific American experimental group Xiu Xiu pushes the industrial 4/4 psych of 'Faces' to IDM extremes, Brooklyn noise-rock heavyweights A Place To Bury Strangers give 'The Observer' a feedback-blasted redux and Montreal art-rockers Suuns turn 'Steam Water Solid' into an 81-second assault on the senses. Elsewhere, German group Camera transform 'Where Lovers Meet' into a piece of hedonistic synthesised krautrock and Japanese band Minami Deutsch inject the sinister 'Ardor' with a motorik dark disco groove. Closing the EP is a beautifully slow-burning and atmospheric reworking of 'Baustelle' courtesy of fellow Leipzig experimentalists and Fuzz Club label-mates Warm Graves.
Talking about the remix EP, Flying Moon In Space said: “For us it’s a really interesting process to have a new perspective on the album. While working in the studio you always come to the point where you have to let go and leave the tracks as they are. Through the remixes there is a chance to bring them alive again. We were thrilled with the creative approach of all the artists involved. They discovered new textures and sounds and put them together to create a new masterpiece. For us it’s a chance to rediscover each single track from a different angle and also listen to how other artists work in the studio. Every single band has its own individual sound and one thing is clear: you never know what to expect. That’s probably the most beautiful thing about working with remixes.”
