Flight Facilities

Ever elusive duo Flight Facilities dropped a bombshell on unsuspecting, devoted fans, announcing the wholly unanticipated – and yet incredibly welcomed – debut album, “Down to Earth”, along with a headline world tour that will see the guys conquer their biggest headline shows to date

The production pair, best known for their string of popular club singles have done the unexpected, announcing a cracking new set of tunes to compliment their already impressive back catalogue.

On “Down To Earth”, Flight Facilities are scaling new heights. It’s not just a new chapter, it’s a whole new altitude; bound together through ornate instrumental interludes in the seamless style of some of the boys’ favourite records, like Cut Copy’s “In Ghost Colours” and Metronomy’s “English Riviera”.

Since their arrival in 2009, Flight Facilities have proven themselves to be one of electronic music’s most consistently popular songwriting duos. Their first hit, Crave You, has become the unofficial soundtrack to summer parties from Sydney to Stockholm, and they’ve since deployed six successful singles, including the self-released slow-burner Clair De Lune, which went Gold in Australia.

They’ve racked up serious air miles, touring the globe and playing headline shows and festivals in every major destination, from Coachella to Falls Festival and their recent ‘Stand Still’ tour saw them selling out huge rooms for over three months.

Hugo & Jimmy of Flight Facilities comment on their approach to writing the album that everyone craved – “We do live in a singles-based culture, so if you do an album, you have to do it right”. With that mantra front of mind, the result is one of the finest records of the genre, and certainly a contender for Aussie high-flyer of the year.

Buckle up. This is one trip you don’t want to miss.
