All hail the return of the iconic band of the 80s, A Flock of Seagulls! After nearly two decades, the legendary group is finally gracing us with their brand new album – ‘Some Dreams’. And let us tell you, it was worth the wait. Led by the ever-glamorous Mike Score, A Flock of Seagulls continues to push the boundaries of music innovation and inspiration.
With their signature synth sounds, blended perfectly with driving guitars and high-energy rhythms, the ten new tracks on ‘Some Dreams’ are a testament to their unmatched talent. The first single off the album, ‘Some Dreams’, was released in the fall to rave reviews from fans and critics alike, setting the bar high for the rest of the album. And boy, did they deliver.
‘Him’, arguably one of Mike Score’s finest pieces of writing, is a love-laced ballad that will tug at your heartstrings. But that’s not all, the album also features a mix of big room synth anthems such as the moody ‘Fool’, the Japan-inspired ‘Time’, and even the Beatles-esque ‘Castles In The Sky’. But of course, A Flock of Seagulls is not just about their music, their iconic haircuts are just as synonymous with their brand. And they are still rocking those teased hairstyles, just as effortlessly as ever. After just wrapping up their successful North American tour, the band is hitting the road again for extensive dates starting in the spring. Their impact on the 80s new wave era can never be denied. Lead singer, Mike Score, a former hairdresser himself, along with his brother Ali (drums) and their friend Frank Maudsley (bass), formed the band in 1980, adding guitarist Paul Reynolds shortly after.
Their debut album, also titled ‘A Flock of Seagulls’, garnered international success with their single ‘I Ran (So Far Away)’ and its striking music video. The album peaked in the American Top Ten, securing their spot in the music industry. And let’s not forget their other hit, ‘Wishing (If I Had a Photograph of You)’, which reached number ten on the UK charts. Their fame and influence have reached beyond music, with several of their songs featured in popular TV shows and movies, including ‘Friends’, ‘The Wedding Singer’, and the recent award-winning ‘La La Land’. Produced by Mike Score, Mikal Read, and Sare Havlicek, and featuring special guests such as trumpeter Kiku Collins, drummer Alex Toff, and more, ‘Some Dreams’ is a masterpiece that will not disappoint fans and will surely attract new ones. So mark your calendars for December 13th, the release date of ‘Some Dreams’ and get ready to be swept away by the sounds of A Flock of Seagulls.
