Flying Horseman share ‘Altered States’, their third single of the year and a key track from their upcoming album ‘Anaesthesia’, due in September via Unday Records.
‘Altered States’ is a song about losing yourself on the internet, about feeling both connected and isolated. About how the internet distorts your identity, about the web as a surreal maze. About feeling like a god, a slave, an insect.
‘Altered States’ is a catchy, groovy tune which heads into an expansive, psychedelic group workout, taking its time to gloriously go nowhere.
Hypnotic, propulsive, and layered with detail, the song balances tension and release. As always, Bert Dockx’ vocals and guitar are at the core, wrapped in a rich tapestry of synths, rhythms and backing vocals.
‘Anaesthesia’ promises to be one of Flying Horseman’s most adventurous records to date, and ‘Altered States’ offers another tantalising glimpse into its strange and simmering world.
