Flying Saucer Attack return w/ first new LP in 15 years, share video made by 'Duke of Burgundy' director Peter Strickland

by Bill Pearis

Iconic UK post/space-rockers Flying Saucer Attack are back, and will release Instrumentals 2015, their first new album in 15 years, on July 17 via Drag City. The album features 15 instrumental pieces by David Pearce and while former member Rachel Coe (now of Movietone) didn’t contribute musically, she did do an etching for the packaging. The cover art, done by David’s sisters Erin and Tamsin, is above. “Instrumental 7” can be heard right now via its music video directed by the gifted Peter Strickland (Duke of Burgundy / Berberian Sound Studio). Strickland says:

My first ever music video for a band that I’m very glad to see the return of.
Within the Great Plains of Hungary, one can almost hear this music resonating far away in the endless expanse. Three of us in the flatfield for three days with Flying Saucer Attack on our headphones and trying to remember how to use light meters whilst observing a world that mankind is gradually departing from.

Watch the video below and pre-orders of the album are now available.
