Carlton Dry Independent Music Charts: Album Focus: Flight Facilities

Answered by: Hugo Gruzman

Album title? Down To Earth

Where did the title of your new album come from? It was one of the last songs we wrote for the album and it seemed to fit as both a metaphor for the people we work with, and a tongue-in-cheek pun for our brand.

How many releases do you have now? It’s our first album, but it’s proceeded six previous singles.

How long did it take to write/record? It’s been about eight months of solid work, excluding some of the songs we started back in April 2013, and previously released singles.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? We’ve always been inspired by other artists and albums we have listened to our whole lives. In particular those that we have listened to since we started DJing, eg. Mylo, Daft Punk, Chemical Bros etc.

What’s your favourite song on it? It’s hard to say. We go through different moods. Right now it’s Heart Attack feat. Owl Eyes.

Will you do anything differently next time? Try to balance the writing with seeing friends more often. Something we didn’t do last time.

When and where is your launch/next gig? 

NSW: 3 May, Groovin The Moo, Canberra; 9 May, Groovin The Moo, Maitland; 29 & 30 May, 10 Years Of Future Classic, Sydney Opera House.
