IN-FLIGHT SAFETY SET TO RELEASE CONVERSATIONALIST SEPTEMBER 9th
HEAR NEW TRACK BLUE
FLARES
KICK OFF FALL TOUR IN THE MARITIMES
Halifax,
Nova Scotia is a coastal city - a Canadian indie music hub since the
1990’s, nestled
among ragged shorelines of the Atlantic Ocean. From this home base, In-Flight Safety has been crafting melodic
indie rock and is set to release their latest album, Conversationalist, on September 9th via Night Danger in
partnership with Fontana North. Have a listen to the feature track Blue
Flares, for a sneak peek at the new album. The band will launch a
fall tour in Charlottetown on September 5th with additional shows
in the Maritimes, Ontario and Quebec before heading over to Europe for the
Reeperbahn Festival in Germany and UK dates. The UK release of the album is
set for September 16th with Conehead
and a US release date will be announced soon. Tour details can be found
below!
Pre-2011, In-Flight Safety was by all accounts an
extrovert. In 2011, the gears shifted as John Mullane (vocalist/guitarist) spent
time scoring films and Glen Nicholson (drums) went to school to study
architecture. As these new adventures unfolded, Mullane and Nicholson then came
together to construct Conversationalist. Mullane had this to say about the
making of the new album: "The word
conversation came up a lot while working on the record. Metaphorically the
conversation is a tool, which helps in constructing something
meaningful. There's a simple beauty in a conversation. I give, you
take, you give and we repeat. Glen and I undertook hundreds, if not
thousands, of conversations in person, by text, phone, and email in
order to make something that felt both new and honest. Music is a
conversation. It's not finished until someone listens.”
Inspired by contemporary bands
like Wild Nothing, The Walkmen and DIIV, In-Flight Safety created an album
that is true to their history, but is their most adventurous and honest. The
ten tracks on Conversationalist have the guitar hooks that will get stuck in
your head and make you want to dance all night, but the imagery is more
mysterious. Mixed by Gus van Go (The Stills, Hollerado) in Brooklyn NY,
Conversationalist is a study about beauty in opposites and this record is
both pragmatic and ethereal, it builds and burns, leaving you wanting more. It’s a love
letter and a breakup in one album.
Listen to what In-Flight Safety has to
say this September – they welcome you to the conversation!
