The UK’s Astronomyy has dropped a new single, “Flamingo.” Written, performed and produced in its entirety by Astronomyy (aka Arron Davey), the track is released on the label he founded in 2015, Lunar Surf. Lo-fi beats and organic percussion brush up against a falsetto hum and the hypnotic hook, “She’s like a flamingo…she belongs in the wild.”

Astronomyy notes, “I had this idea somebody can be like a flamingo. A flamingo is very pretty, but if you try to cage it, you realize it’s a wild animal and shouldn’t be contained. It’s also tongue-in-cheek and pokes fun at people in Britain, because ‘Bird’ is a slang word for‘Girlfriend.’ It’s the first song I wanted to share with the world in a couple of years, because it’s got so many elements that represent me. It’s moody, it’s broody, it’s weird, it’s funky, it’s textured, and, it’s also quite pretty.” As for an August 30 release Davey says, “I’ve always been obsessed with space and as I’ve spent the last two years rebalancing myself and my sound, it seemed only right to release the first single under a new moon. Which also happens to be a super black new moon.”
