FLIPTURN RELEASES AN INTIMATE VISUAL FOR “WHALES” WITH PERFORMANCE-STYLE OFFICIAL VIDEO

DEBUT ALBUM SHADOWGLOW TO BE RELEASED

ON AUGUST 19

HEADLINE NORTH AMERICAN TOUR KICKS OFF TOMORROW

“‘Whales’ is the indie pop group’s most tender song to date, though it ends rather abruptly with their classic breakdown style. The melodic, steady bassline on ‘Whales,’ is contrasted with its achingly relatable lyrics about internal turmoil and feeling emotionally drained.” – V Magazine

“drenched-out and hypnotic” – Riff Magazine

Fresh off an entrancing set at Bonnaroo, flipturn today releases the official music video for “Whales.” The latest single from their upcoming debut album Shadowglow, “Whales” holds a magnifying glass over the effects of seemingly insurmountable pressure. After amassing over 50 million streams on Spotify alone from previous EPs and singles, the band’s debut album will be released in its entirety on August 19. Stream the official video for “Whales” HERE.

Directed and edited by longtime collaborator Amanda Laferriere, the video for “Whales” incorporates the motif of dark versus light which appears across much of Shadowglow. Shot in black and white, the band performs in an isolated room – perhaps the most intimately one can experience a flipturn performance without the roar of fanfare – like at their recent performances at Bonnaroo, Shaky Knees, Hangout, SunFest, and countless headline shows. Clean and understated, this video keeps things direct, while conveying the weight of the song’s subject matter.

ABOUT FLIPTURN

In the time since 2015, 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 turning into a staple of the indie scene. With over 50 million streams on Spotify alone, countless sold out shows across the US, and tours with Mt. Joy, Rainbow Kitten Surprise and Wilderado, the band has a lead foot on the gas pedal. This year will see flipturn joining the prestigious lineups of Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Shaky Knees, Hangout, SunFest, and Levitate. Fans can also look forward to the band’s upcoming debut album Shadowglow which will be released on August 19 and accompanied by a run of headline tour dates.
