Filipino indie rock band Oh, Flamingo! have showcased their 2020 EP ‘Volumes’ in a performance for artist discovery platform Audiotree International.
The Chicago-based video series routinely showcases musicians and bands from the US and elsewhere via studio sessions. Oh, Flamingo! are the latest act to participate in Audiotree International, which is focused on non-American acts.
In their performance posted on February 3, Oh, Flamingo! played five cuts from their 2020 EP ‘Volumes’: ‘Naubos Na’ and ‘Sunsets’, ‘Sacred Times’ and ‘Echoes/Psychedelic Sweater’. The intimate set shows the four-piece locking in in a studio, delivering their quirky riffs and off-kilter rhythms.
