Firestations + Paper Clouds + Baby Deltic

Firestations are a London art-pop five-piece whose ever-evolving sound spans dream-pop, shoegaze, harmony-driven psychedelia and experimental folk. Since emerging on Lost Map Records, the band have continually reinvented themselves across a string of acclaimed releases, balancing lush melodies with adventurous arrangements and quietly political songwriting. Their fifth album International Dust marks a return to the full-band format, expanding their sound into immersive new territory. Recorded live and shaped collectively, the album blends dream-pop, alt-country, hypnotic grooves and electronic textures into their most expansive work to date. Rich with flute, viola, flugelhorn and shimmering guitars, International Dust explores themes of time, identity and inequality while retaining the emotional warmth and melodic inventiveness that has made Firestations one of the UK's most distinctive underground bands.
