Highly cinematic, like the song that leads the haunting conclusion of a film into its credits, flipturn today releases “Space Cowboy,” the final single before their debut album Shadowglow is released on August 19. The band today announces their signing with Dualtone Records. After growing a formidable grassroots fanbase and amassing over 50 million streams on Spotify alone as an independent band, their upcoming album will continue to push the band further. Listen to “Space Cowboy” HERE.

Following a striking instrumental intro, the lyrics to “Space Cowboy” come through like a muffled call home from far away. Depicting an individual floating away, isolated by unfulfilled longing and crushing pressure, the song narrates a true sense of emotional weight and looking for “something more.” Moving into the apex of the song, the band unleashes absolutely everything they have to give emotionally and musically, inciting a hollow feeling of awestruck bewilderment.

“When we were writing this song in Arizona on our first writing trip for the record, we kept talking about how it felt like it was somebody getting lost in space,” said guitarist Tristan Duncan on today’s single. “It’s very much a tumultuous experience of said space traveler being ripped away from civilization and life as they knew it; being thrust into the cold clutches of space and their own thoughts. We were also loosely inspired by Watanabe’s Cowboy Bebop and the overarching romanticism of loneliness and aching for something more.”

ABOUT FLIPTURN

flipturn makes indie music for endless summers, sun-streaked days, and introspective nights. It's a cinematic sound rooted not only in the Florida towns where the musicians first banded together as teenagers, but also in the anthemic live show that's taken flipturn from coast to coast. In the time since their formation, flipturn has mushroomed to reaches far beyond the walls of the Fernandina Beach garage they first practiced in. Built up by Dillon Basse (lead vocals/rhythm guitar), Tristan Duncan (lead guitar), Madeline Jarman (bass), Mitch Fountain (synth), and Devon VonBalson (drums), the band is gearing up for the August 19 release of their debut album Shadowglow; a snapshot of a band caught halfway between youthful optimism and adult precision, with songs that target the head as well as the heart.

With over 50 million streams on Spotify alone, countless sold-out headline shows across the US, and tours with Mt. Joy, Rainbow Kitten Surprise and Wilderado, the band has more than proven their place in the indie scene. This year has seen flipturn join the prestigious lineups of Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Shaky Knees, Hangout, SunFest, and Levitate. flipturn recently signed with Dualtone Records to further amplify the release of their debut project, joining their legendary roster of the likes of The Lumineers, Chuck Berry and Shakey Graves.
