Everything is better when it’s free, that’s a scientific fact. The Flying Foxes debut was probably going to be pretty good anyway, but by the aforementioned logic my appreciation for it has been heightened by roughly 20% since you can get your dirty mouse-clicking mits on that shit for free from their website right now. Yup. They’re calling February ‘Free Album Month’ or something, which would suggest that you have 28 days (well, only 20 now) to get a-downloading – but then maybe March will also be ‘Free Album Month,’ I haven’t asked. Don’t risk it, head over to flyingfoxes.tv to get in on this socialist cultural exchange.

The above songs are both pulled from that debut, Ticking Boxes. ‘Napoleon’ is the opening number and gives a pretty good idea of what Flying Foxes are about for the uninitiated. A mix of sparse, brooding, and upbeat sensibilities; simple guitar playing mixed with slightly-weak-but-in-a-cool-way vocals; a big chorus that never sounds too big thanks to the understated instrumentation.

Then ‘Everything Will Change’ is about the least Flying Foxes-esque track on their, sounding more like a post-punk band reinterpreting a BRMC cast-off. It’s nonetheless a catchy song and represents probably the most use guitar distortion on an otherwise restrained record. If you like these tracks then you’ll probably like everything in between too. And when all it costs is a fraction of your time and download quote, why not hit it up?
