The Flying Skulls Discography

Saddle Up (EP)

Since their last album dropped in October, San Francisco’s resident track doctors and improv electronic music innovators The Flying Skulls have been taking time out of their busy touring schedule to hit the studio. Hard. They’ve been sharpening their arsenal of dirty, tripnodic beats for an upcoming opus-of-an-album slated for release in late summer. Luckily three tracks demanded to get out, so we are presenting the Saddle Up EP. The release features a bassy mid-tempo title track, fused with funky synth lines and a driving groove laced with samples that declare western motifs like: “Have gun, will travel.” The EP also features a remix of a classic Skulls track The Dope Trade by two up-and-coming-producers. The first is remixed by one of the premier cutting-edge guitarist/producers on the West Coast, Curtis Sloane of BLVD. He takes The Dope Trade and refits the grooves with that buttery BLVD flavor. The second remix is by Asheville producer Brad Bitt (aka Quetzatl) and is sure to get your trigger finger itchy with it’s hyper edits and crunked-out distorted leads lines! Hopefully these three distinct tracks can hold you over until the LP drops! Cover art by visionary SF painter Ian Hill.

he Flying Skulls are at it again! Just months after the world-wide premier of their album "Take Flight!" the Skulls are dropping "Abducted!" a remix album in volumes featuring some of the best West Coast electronic music producers. Volume Two will be available exclusively on Daly City Records, and features remixes from Mochipet, BBQ Chicken Dub, Preshish Moments, Ribotto, and Vladimir Computin, plus art by renown mix media artist Souther Salazar. This marks the first release from the collaboration known as BBQ Chicken Dub, featuring J.Tonal, Snareface, Jerome Forney, and a whole bunch of BBQ chicken. The result? A slow, methodical re-visioning of classic Skulls songs... spicy, tangy, meaty, nu school with shifting basstones... totally off the clock and live. The release also features a remix by Mochipet featuring lyrics and vocals by SF based MC, DJ, and graphic artist The Zap Tap. Mochi pairs his internationally loved mash-up sensibility and palette of exotic sounds with Zap Tap's vocal gymnastics. SF uber-vocalist Audio Angel also graces two tracks, a remix of "Skulls & Angels" by Preshish Moments (2008 SF Laptop/Machine Battle Champ) that contains a frenetic, almost macabre energy, as well as a bass-heavy remix of the same song by electronic band MO2, with Audio Angel riffing over a breaks track with jungly aesthetic.
