about

FLA's forthcoming release, the Silver & Gold EP (January 25, 2019), finds Gunty and Powers exploring new territory as a distance band, writing and recording from their respective homes in Philadelphia and Chicago.

The EP's first single, Honeyguide (out now), explores this idea of distance and territory through the story of the eponymous tropical bird, and features another bird, Minneapolis singer-songwriter Siri Undlin, better known as Humbird. Undlin's rich vocal performance puts a classic twist atop FLA's signature sound and leaves us to imagine what fresh take FLA will bring to their upcoming record, their first collection of material since their debut.

Track Name: Honeyguide
all my life I've always run short
all my short life I've always run
lost and won in right and wrong
in the long run life goes on

sing to me of all so sweet
most of all the gold I seek
give me this my daily honey
money, honey, money, money

it's a matter of time, not a thing you say now could sway me
not from up in my tree, now I'm out here and hungry
my lock, my key
my wandering belly

I got nothing to hide; I wear my mind like the feather white I lead you by
every time your pipe rings like heaven on the daylight
you're my honeyguide and I'm so hooked on the sweet inside
and now it's been so long since you came out to lead me along

I'll climb this tree
you hide I seek
your life with me
my love of honey
