 Both visually and musically, Draw It in the Dark is a mixed affair. The idea is solid: Package a new seven-inch with a DVD of 10 videos, directed by various artists in and outside the band. For the most part, the variety of visuals makes this a compelling release. But without the short films, the lack of variety in the music would have made this a more difficult project to hang with all the way through.
Without a doubt, the highlights of the films include “Double-Hearted Clown” by Brittany Gravely, with its delicate drawings of animals and bright colors, and Jonathan Fendler’s “Fear of Flying,” an animated gem full of emotion and humor, set on a lonely stretch of Middle Eastern desert. Also worth mentioning are Jeanne Simmy’s “Morning Star” and Catherine Ross’s “Twin Sisters,” which features a funny, stop-motion tape-recorder gag that doesn’t get old. The best videos done by the band themselves are “Minors” and “Stains.”...full text |

| *EXCLUSIVE! LIMITED TO 750! Fresh off tour supporting Deerhoof, this release is something of a companion piece to FlyingÕs second album. This deluxe-package release features songs from the album, one previously unreleased alternate take & a compilation of 10 music videos curated by the band as a collaboration with many of the artists they admire. Artist Dana Schutz graces the covers of the 7" & the DVD with two paintings whose poise between chaos & harmony mirror the musical aesthetic for which Flying has become known. The videos show a range of unconventional responses to the bandÕs music, from the somber, subtly wry meditations of Brittany Gravely's films, to Jonathan Kendler's cartoon tribute to Middle Eastern cinema of old, to Catherine Ross's dead-pan minimalist masterpiece Twin Sisters. Also included here are several videos by the band: Stains, a psychedelic group-dance-therapy-experiment directed by Sara Magenheimer, and Eben Portnoy's hand-painted Super-8 montage Minors...full text |

| Just off their tour with Deerhoof, Flying is releasing a 7" and compiled video DVD on April 28th. Draw It In the Dark is meant to be a companion piece to their recent album Faces of the Night and features songs from the album and one previously unreleased alternate take of the song "Cloud in Doubt." Accompanying the vinyl is a separately packaged DVD containing 10 videos made by various filmmakers, artists, and the band themselves. It's a pretty interesting watch. All in all, this is a great release....full text |
