Mexican Prog Rock band A Flying Fish reveal first single “Teezûck” from upcoming album “El Pez Que Voló – ACT I” due out on November 03, 2023 via Apollon Records. Stream the track through the YouTube player below:
EPQV is a musical quest to unearth the divine gem hidden within oneself. A cartoonish collection of desires, phobias, pathologies and virtues which are funneled to create an ambivalent moral mishmash of East and West traditions. This zoomorphic, naïve & messianic hero’s journey is infused with a psychedelic aura that invites us to dream the impossible. . .
ACT I – The Nest , introduces Teezûck, the strange son of a bird and a fish who lives depressed in the dark depths of the sea. One magical night he receives a stellar gift: an oneiric vision, a call to face his inner fears and seek his true destiny. Themes such as overprotection, toxic victimhood, altered states, maturity and the flow between divinity & delusion are explored within this eclectic, fantasy-fueled extravaganza.
The EPQV series feature a capricious, free mixture of musical styles, genres, production values and aesthetics, which serve as narrative devices to highlight moments, characters & emotions across this highly unconventional sonic expedition.
