The anticipated new full length album from Fleshwater—2000: In Search of the Endless Sky— is set for release September 5th on Closed Casket Activities [pre-order].
The album follows the band’s 2022 debut We’re Not Here To Be Loved, a release that quickly gained momentum and carried them through extensive touring across the U.S., Europe, the UK, Australia, and Japan. Along the way, they shared bills with Deftones and The Mars Volta, and hit the road with acts such as Harm’s Way, Modern Color, and Ingrown—building a reputation for blending heaviness with melody in a way that is unique and nostalgic.
2000: In Search of the Endless Sky‘s soaring first single “Jetpack” arrives today with a music video directed by Eric Richter. Anthony Didio, guitarist/vocalist for Fleshwater says it’s “…a really special song that takes me on an adventure every time I hear it. It was the main source of inspiration for this album and really encapsulates the entire vibe of it. I’m excited for people to finally hear it and have it take them on their own personal journey.”
Shaped across multiple studios and settings, Fleshwater tracked guitars and bass at God City Studio by Kurt Ballou with assistance from Zach Weeks, while drums were recorded by Kevin Bernstein at Mag Pie Recording Studio. Vocals were self-recorded by the band at home, before a final mix at God City Studios and a master by Nick Townsend of Infrasonic Studios. The album also features David Haik (Pianos Become The Teeth) on drums, whose session performance adds a rhythmic depth to the material.
Leaning into both atmosphere and impact, Fleshwater pushes into new territory while keeping the emotional weight intact. 2000: In Search of the Endless Sky is a step forward, but still unmistakably them.
See Fleshwater on their North American headline tour this September and October with Angel Du$t and Chat Pile in tow on select dates. More news soon.
