Crowd Control - Loading Please... EP (FFO)

#11 iTunes - New Alternative Releases Chart - artofthemix.org/charts/newreleases/20

False Flag Operation (FFO) is not only DubKraft's sister label, because it dares to dream even bigger in its newly-found life, after 2+ years of hiatus. FFO doesn't know when and where to stop if it spots something beautiful. Music is still one of the main concerns here, but it's about really rewarding people for their inclination towards creativity and beauty.

This how we got to release "Loading Please..." - the newest EP by Crowd Control, Romanian indie-electronica fusion live band that's getting a lot of attention nationally and now reaches for a global audience.
The Bucharest -based trio found that hot spot right in the middle between FM radio and underground respectability, their music feels contemporary, but doesn't hide its respect for the indie/brit-pop and electronica classics that inspired it. Furthermore, Crowd Control also winks at future R&B, kraut rock or dub, and their performance is colored with some spoken word that's the closest thing to an East-European poetry slam. And it's not made to blow your mind, it's made to help you keep it together, with a personally modest but socially aware attitude. That's where their Crowd Control name and aesthetics come from too, they found a personal way to join the dots between the world of computer games and society.

The release debuts exclusively on falseflagoperation.info on Romania's National Day, 1st Of December, accompanied by an official music video and new merchandise.

The mixing, mastering, as well as the first video are the work of Silviu Costinescu (Alien Pimp/SubJazz) - silviucostinescu.info
The recordings were made in Pyramid Studios, Bucharest in 2014.

Cover art by Andrew Green

Starting mid-December, the EP will be available in most quality shops online in all digital formats.

Also, a second video is in the works and we're not going to stop soon developing this project! :)
