These bedroom recordings made a virtue of the otherworldly, hissy mechanics of four-track cassette-to-vinyl duplication. Pearce realised that you didn’t need to layer 16 guitar tracks in an expensive studio to make a big noise. Recording directly on to a four-track resulted in a thick, distorted, abrasive sound that suited his needs perfectly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLP - Black Heavyweight Vinyl Board Mounted ‘Tip-On’ Gatefold Sleeve, Printed insert And Download card.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domino","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50485163884875,"sku":"1008010","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50485164343627,"sku":"1008009","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/03f797e1-fe2a-4c93-b2ab-73cbf8adc66b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727596479"},{"product_id":"instrumentals-2015","title":"Instrumentals 2015","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlying Saucer Attack release 'Instrumentals 2015', their first album in 15 years. Comprised of 15 fresh David Pearce solo performances recorded in characteristically lo-fi manner at home, using guitars only on tape and CD-R, 'Instrumentals 2015' is an album that will appeal both to FSA diehards and those wholly unfamiliar with the outfit's recorded output. The 15 tracks on 'Instrumentals 2015' present an impressionistic narrative which transports the listener through the excoriating dronescapes and rueful introspection of the album's early pieces to the more redemptive cadences of the its closing half. Given its sense of momentum, maintained through Pearce's thoughtful sequencing, this is an album that should be experienced in its entirety, the better to appreciate its deliberate emotional arc.LP - Double heavyweight vinyl. 4th side etched by Rachel Coe from FSA and Movietone.

'Chorus' is the second odds-and-ends collection from Flying Saucer Attack, Bristol's premier D.I.Y. dreampop outfit. It's another solid set from these introverted home-tapers, despite the inclusion of one or two too many unfocused out-takes. Flying Saucer Attack's formula of fragile guitar ballads and airy soundscapes completely engulfed in fuzz, distortion, tape hiss, and other lo-fi distractions remains engaging throughout. Between the pileup of spacey effects and Flying Saucer Attack pilot David Pearce's melodic whisper, there's plenty here to appeal to lovers of psychedelic ambience both classic and recent. The titular disturbance that ultimately consumes 'Feedback Song' like a radioactive cloud also irradiates 'Always.' With its gossamer melody and Pearce's mellifluous folk delivery, 'Light in the Evening' rises specter-like from its bed of grot. Flying Saucer Attack's atmospheric mood pieces ('Popul Vuh III,' 'There but Not There,' 'Februrary 8th') are expectedly serene and lovely, as is the brief, shimmering closer, 'There Dub.' But Chorus's real prizes are 'Second Hour' and 'Beach Red Lullaby,' tracks originally available on a 'Further' era seven-inch. The former is a rough dreampop diamond drowned in eddies of distortion; the latter features an all-too-rare vocal from honey-voiced Flying Saucer Attack cohort Rachel Brook and one of the group's more exquisite acoustic melodies.LP - 180 Gram Vinyl, Mastered by Matt Colton and With Download.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Domino","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":50494678040907,"sku":"393406","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/64d4002d-fe2c-408c-874c-a84149f71dba_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727707347"},{"product_id":"new-lands","title":"New Lands","description":"\u003cp\u003eFlying Saucer Attack was, by this point just one member - Dave Pearce for Rachel Brooks had already left.
