Cancellation of the Flotation Toy Warning’s upcoming tour dates due to health issues

There are some news we would rather not to bring.

As many of you know, Flotation Toy Warning released their second full-lenght “The Machine That Made Us” last june, thirteen years after their debut “Bluffer’s Guide To The Flight Deck”. And it is a great return.

The band was supposed to play a couple of french shows ( + Brussels at Le Botanique) late october, but we are sad to announce today that these tour dates are cancelled due to health problems. We are very sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment caused to fans, but that decision has not been taken lightly.

Thanks in advance for your undestanding and support, and we hope to give you some better news in the near future.

Lovingly remastered vinyl reissue of The Apartments’ chamber-pop masterpiece ’drift’

The Apartments second album drift was universally praised by the critic when released in 1993. Talitres did a CD reissue late 2010, and we are happy to announce today that a vinyl edition (half speed mastered) is set to be released sept. 29th, 2017. Available for pre-order from our webstore.
Composed in London where Peter Milton Walsh then lived, it is a collection of unclassified dark pieces, a timeless masterpiece, the remarkable class of a songwritter, the obsessional record of an aching mind.

I had a simple story to tell, a set of characters who drifted in and out of not just the songs but each other’s lives...Peter Milton Walsh

the Apartments ‘drift’ (vinyl)
Face A: 1. the goodbye train - 2. on every corner - 3. mad cow - 4. nothing stops it - 5. over
Face B: 1. knowing you were loved - 2. places where the night is long - 3. all his stupid friends - 4. could I hide here? (a little while) - 5. what’s left of your nerve
