Kunek - Flight Of The Flynns (2006?)


[Indie/Alternative]

Flight of the Flynns (whose release date I can't seem to find btw) is one of those overlooked gems that you stumble into every once in a while.

The band puts forth a mix of sounds that evoke comparisons with the likes of greats like Radiohead. Their style is very melancholic, often times influenced by the Shoegaze scene, other times approaching Post-Rock, And somtimes simply, rocking out a little bit. Even with such diverse and widespread influences, the band keeps it's own unique sound, derived from the fact that they have a very strong combination of cello/piano on most of their songs, and the beautiful ways in which they are arranged..
Kunek create layers of music that keep building on top of one another, resulting in beautiful pieces of sonic art.

After releasing this, the band seemed to have gone into a sort of hiatus, only to emerge some time later with a new name (Other Lives) and a somewhat different style. But In my opinion, this release is the best one still.

Check them out performing their track "Coma"
