FLYING Machines are playing songs from their debut album Flying Machines at a concert on February 19 at the Seven Arts in Leeds.

Flying Machines set out to play emotive and dramatic music, drawing upon influences as diverse as jazz, pop, progressive rock and metal.

LondonJazz praised the music for sweet lyrical passages blending with impossible prog-like time signatures to create a fresh, modern sound with its own distinctive character.

A spokesman said: “Flying Machines fuse visceral improvisation with anthemic melodies and lusciously textured soundscapes. It's a sound shot through with the “here and now” of London's cutting-edge music scene, a decadent mash up of prog rock energy, free-wheeling improvisations and ambient meditations.”
