Flamingosis releases new single “Nebula Gazer”

Brooklyn funk/electronic artist Aaron Velasquez b.k.a. Flamingosis has delivered their new single “Nebula Gazer” today.

The single arrives with an accompanying visualizer created by Space Dawg (M83, Adult Swim), which can be seen below. Velasquez said this about the new track:

“Nebula - A giant cloud of dust and gas in space. They are often star-forming regions. And in these regions, the formations of gas and dust clump together to form denser regions, which attract further matter and eventually become dense enough to form stars. Most nebulae are of vast size. Some are hundreds of light-years in diameter. A nebula that is visible to the human eye from Earth would appear larger, but no brighter, from close by. What am I trying to get at here? A nebula is BIG AS HELL. So much so, that it can make us feel SMALL AS HELL when we gaze up at that s**t. So when presented with this information, you can go about it two different ways. You can say ‘Damn, I feel insignificant in the grand scheme of things, what's the point in even trying.’ Or you can say ‘Damn, I feel insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Which gives me a weird sense of confidence to work towards being a better version of myself and make the most of my time here on earth.’ Personally, I'd choose the latter when going about life.”

“Nebula Gazer” stems from Flamingosis’ forthcoming studio album Better Will Come, which will be released on May 10 via their own label Kahuna Style. Pre-saves/pre-adds for the album can be made here.

This spring, Flamingosis will be touring with a live band for the first time ever. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now here.
