Looky Looky - Flamingo Boots

LOOKY LOOKY is the new project from JEFFREY SFIRE and IAN CLARK, both residing in Detroit, Michigan. The pair met in the late '90s when Ian was performing as one half of LE CAR with Adam Miller of ADULT. Ian also recorded under the moniker PERSPECTS, and released on Clone, Ersatz Audio and Interdimensional Transmissions. Jeffrey has released a series of singles and remix EPs with Samuel Long as SFIRE on CockTail d'Amore Music and Ultramajic. The duo released their 8-track debut album 'Part Flamingo' in 2016. All 8 tracks represent one body of work but are presented as 2 distinct concept EP's: 'Part Flamingo' and 'Nurse Coven'. They're loose, fun pastiches of '80s movie soundtracks with accompanying imagery. For the Flamingo Boots EP we chose 4 songs from the album which the pair extended for maxi 12" throbbing dance mixes. Looky Looky describe the project as equal parts light and dark, a contemporary recasting of Italo, Hi-NRG and electro. The songs infuse bright '80s sonic textures with a seedy, sweaty thump. The Motor City duo is about a year into the project, but is already known for their hardware-heavy live set after playing the Honcho Summer Campout last year and the 2017 edition of Gays Hate Techno in northern California. Each copy includes a postcard with notes and a photo of the duo.
