Flip That Groove is led by Melbourne-based musician and composer Paul Field, who likes to collaborate with other artists to explore his sound even more. Field has contributed to many other bands in the past and his experience has led to him releasing his own material. Field has teamed up with Phaedra Gunn who contributes on vocals to release a double single “Inside My Head/Falling.”
The huge electronic riffs and scat-like vocals create an alluring soundscape on “Inside My Head.” Once you hit play, you will be met with percussive beats and the electronic vibes and synths reel you in with an other-worldly flavor. I like the fact that Gunn includes a jazzy flair to her vocal here. The song contains some funk as well. The slick drums and experimental colors come together making it feel ephemeral and actually quite spiritual. On top of that there's a good amount of psychedelia happening. Suffice it to say this is an original sounding song that is constantly uncovering new terrain. On “Falling,” more beats come into this track and and Eastern quality. The beats were very tribal and kinetic. Next, some strings arrive for a lush sound. The airy vocals are murmured in the background and you can barely make out what she is singing almost as if she is speaking in tongues. It feels more like chants and mantras than anything and I thought this was ear-pleasing as well. Similar to the previous song the spiritual element feels refreshing and cathartic. I thought the sound Field was going for here had some great ambience. Gunn’s vocals easily fit into these electronic grooves where she half-sings and scats the lyrics. I enjoyed the World flavors of these singles filled with invigorating beats and a great vibe. I hope to see more soon.
