The Seven Ups describe their music as "the soundtrack to the dancefloor at the end of the world". Based in Naarm/Melbourne, Australia, and lead by guitarist Trent Sterling, The Seven Ups formed in the early 2010s, the ensemble has earned a formidable reputation on Australia’s live circuit and abroad through their hypnotic grooves and brass-heavy, high-octane performances.

Across six studio albums, they have continually pushed their signature sound into new territories, fusing heavy brass motifs with hypnotic krautrock repetition and cosmic synth textures. Anchored by a rock-solid rhythm section, The Seven Ups remain leading pioneers of Australia's vibrant instrumental underground.

On Flight, The Seven Ups expand their sonic universe by marrying their trademark Afro-psych-funk foundation with driving Krautrock with a nuanced, downbeat disco finish. Built on groove and atmosphere, the album relies on mesmerising, arpeggiated synthesizer lines and pulsing motorik basslines that pull listeners into its atmospheric slipstream. Searing horn arrangements float effortlessly above tight, hypnotic percussion, balanced with grounded, floor-hugging grooves.

Stripped-back tracks like "New Palace" and "Bottle Brush Tree" reveal a slower, atmospheric side to the band, while the dynamic "Flight or Fight" showcases their seamless ensemble interplay. Elsewhere, "Lossless" and "Player 2" find ways to reference Pink Floyd, before settling into their respective grooves. The result is an enveloping, transcendent record that soars without losing its hypnotic grip.
