The Flying Club Cup

Zach Condon built this record around his interest in European brass bands and chanson. The production took place primarily in a modest flat, where he stacked flugelhorns, accordions, and ukuleles to mimic the atmosphere of the past.

Emerging during the indie folk movement, the work is notable for its scale and focus on travel. The writing mirrors a weathered note sent from a fading town. It combines personal recording methods with the scale of a roaming fairground.
