Flying House
Flying House is an original band based in St. Louis, Missouri, known for its dynamic fusion of indie-rock, folk, and global rhythms—all anchored by sharp pop sensibilities. Helmed by songwriter James Ibur and inspired by artists like Elvis Costello, The Beatles, R.E.M., Richard Thompson, Bob Marley, Dawes, and Fleet Foxes, the band delivers a sound that’s both timeless and distinctly their own. Their newest LP, Yellow Light, will be released May 16, 2025, and showcases ten new tracks that highlight some of the group’s strongest songs to date—hook-driven, vocally rich, and rhythmically explosive! It follows by one year to the date, our EP Blood Red Moon.
