Down to Earth by Flight Facilities
Down to Earth is an album by Flight Facilities, released in 2014. 5 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 5 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Two Bodies”, on 1 list with a best position of #39.
Down to Earth, the debut album from Flight Facilities, came out on Future Classic on 24 October 2014, and it's a sunny, sleek, cocktail-hour record from the Australian duo of Hugo Gruzman and James Lyell, who also go by Hugo & Jimmy. They'd started out in 2009 remixing other people's songs, and here they build their own, with a guest list that runs from Kylie Minogue and Reggie Watts to Emma Louise, Owl Eyes, Bishop Nehru, Christine Hoberg and Stee Downes.
"Stand Still", "Two Bodies", "Sunshine", "Heart Attack" and the title track keep the disco-tinged grooves gliding. Curiously, 3 of their 6 earlier singles didn't make the cut. It went to number 3 on the ARIA albums chart, went gold, and picked up ARIA nominations for Album of the Year, Best Dance Release and Best Cover Art, plus a J Awards nod.
