    Coming off the back of their acclaimed self-titled debut album (‘Flowers and Sea Creatures’) in September 2011, Montreal’s alt-electronic duo Flowers and Sea Creatures step up with a new EP.

    The title track is a cover version of fellow Canadian Rufus Wainwright’s ‘Going To A Town’. The track was originally sketched out on a live session for XFM’s John Kennedy in early 2011. The band loved it so much they added a couple of overdubs and mixed it with Ewan Pearson before using it as a bonus track on their album, but it now gets its own turn in the spotlight. Singer Graham Baxter’s idiosyncratic voice soars over acoustic guitar and an undertow of buzzy synth drones from partner, Kosta Megalos, while co-producer Ewan Pearson ramps up the direct emotional focus.

    In addition, the EP features two mixes of another of the album’s popular tracks - ‘The Sitting Room’ - for clubland. First up, Fred Everything (who co-produced the the original version) drops a burbling, trippy dub with staccato voices and up-stepping arpeggios. Meanwhile, Berlin-based Irishman Mano Le Tough follows up his killer debut EP on Buzzin’ Fly recently with a strung-out deep techno masterpiece.

    Acclaim for album:

    'Smoky, sensual torch songs from Canada. A slow-burning, melancholic album' * * * * / Mixmag

    'Beautiful, rich, woozy and at times blissfully ambient.' 9/10, Album Of The Month / Future Music

    'Supple, moving songs ... The key to the album's charm is how it occupies its own gorgeous, haunted, night-time world oblivious to scenes and trends' / The Guardian

    'They tap the conversational gravitas of contemporary Berlin techno with seductive verve.' / Rolling Stone

    'A perfect fit on Ben Watt's Buzzin' Fly' / Dazed Digital
