battles of will and utopian vistas, at the point where a rock band ends and an electronic symphony begins. this is the delirious sound of swimming, unveiled on debut album 'the fireflow trade' out on their own colourschool label and produced by the band. their talent for sonic experimentation never detracting from the innate gift for melody, 'the fireflow trade' is as headspinningly inventive as it is euphorically engaging. the hypnotic opening of 'panthalassa' - a vision of the world re-united by the positive potential of globalization, the turbulent force of 'tigershark' and the stratospheric mantra of '9 sky open', provide a breathless introduction to an obsorbing album. elsewhere is the pounding and bewildering dreamstate of 'crash the current', the brooding futurism of 'crescents' and 'all in time to the shoreline', and the blissful meditations 'eagle aviary' and title track, 'the fireflow trade'.....release date: 11/05/2009
