‘Pink Flamingo’ is Kids In Glass Houses’ grand return. Channelling the excitement of their debut with the ambition of what came next, the album has the foundations of what came before, but takes it to new heights. “We were always a bit scared to lean into the more outlandish stuff before but on this one, if it felt good, we did it,” explains Aled. It means the record feels more dynamic and daring than anything that has come before, but there’s also a sincerity to it. “There was just so much
joy and confidence in what we were making,” Aled continues. “We got back in touch with why we started the band in the first place, which is that we just love making music together.” Rather than overthink the legacy of the band and how to evolve that, the band trusted in one another. “We learnt to be comfortable that anything we wrote together was a Kids In Glass
Houses song,” says frontman Aled Phillips. The band were also more open with one another with that honesty providing nothing but inspiration. “We've all grown as individuals and a collective,” he says.” There was just this real sense of freedom to ‘Pink Flamingo’.

Ultimately, ‘Pink Flamingo’ sees Kids In Glass Houses embracing their past, but refusing to be defined by it. “We’ve stolen from across our own back catalogue and used that to form this new vision of Kids In Glass Houses,” says Aled. “There have been some near misses in the past and we wanted to right some wrongs,” he adds. “But a new album never felt like a risk. None of us would be doing this if we didn’t believe it was amazing and worthwhile.”
