about

Some bands will always have a special affinity with us here at Up In Her Room, and none more so than The Confederate Dead.
They played our first ever festival back when we were putting on shows, and their album Infinite Expansion was the first release for us back in 2020 when we started out as a label.

With that in mind we are so delighted to announce that their latest full length offering ‘Flamingo’ will be our 15th vinyl release, but this time we have the legends over at Little Cloud Records getting in on the action too!
Their latest offering sees the band return with their unique blend of garage rock, psychedelic, motorik beats and shoegaze dreaminess. For fans of BJM, Galaxy 500 and the Doors.

‘As an artist, one of the most extraordinary gifts is the ability to convert life's experiences and emotions into music, transmuting pain into beauty, tragedy into art. With our latest album, 'Flamingo', we embarked on this creative journey. The inception of this project dates back to 2022, a year marked by a period of separation that was both challenging and transformative.
'Flamingo' is not just an album; it is a voyage through the labyrinth of heartache and healing. Each track resonates with the overarching theme of the album, yet each presents a unique interpretation of it. Every song echoes the same meaning, the same core narrative, but from a different emotional lens. The listener is invited to explore this kaleidoscope of feelings, making their way from sorrow to hope, despair to resilience.
The Flamingo bird served as a symbol and inspiration for this album. In nature, flamingos are renowned for their life balance, effortless grace, and remarkable ability to stand on one leg, representing stability amidst life's challenges. This motif resonated with our journey, becoming the lighthouse guiding the course of this project.
The naming of the album was indeed an intriguing blend of intuition and serendipity. The decision to name it 'Flamingo' was made long before the album cover was finalised. Fate, it seems, conspired to bring us to a picturesque Italian seaside town, Gatteo a Mare, where a hotel called 'Flamingo' stood as a beacon on the coastline.
As the azure waves lapped the golden sand, and the setting sun painted the sky with its warm hues, the vibrant 'Flamingo' hotel became a spectacle to behold. Our dear friend and accomplished photographer Maximillian Hetherington was with us during this trip. Maximillian had also shot our debut album cover 'It Was Meant To Happen', and once again, his lens captured the magic of the moment.
Amid laughter, Max clicked numerous photographs, one of which became the perfect embodiment of our album – the 'Flamingo' hotel against the gorgeous Italian blue-sky backdrop. The unexpected alignment of the album's name, symbol, and the cover image felt nothing short of destiny. It was as if all the pieces of this creative puzzle had finally come together, giving birth to the sonic journey that is 'Flamingo.'
'Flamingo' is not just an album but a testimony of resilience, a testament to the human ability to stand tall amidst life's turbulence, embodying the graceful balance of the flamingo.’

Psychedelic Rock reminiscent of early Catherine Wheel and Ride - not a bad thing. Quality musicianship and great use of spoken word sample on You Had It All - possibly Terence McKenna? Update - sample is Alan Watts - thanks to the Angry Arab for putting me right! RIYL Superfjord, Sundial circa 'Other Way Out' and the above. The Socialist Birder
