Musical career

Pitchfork named it "Best New Track" and the music video, filmed on their iPhone, was featured in YouTube's New Music Playlist. Pining international interest in their project, Flipo was subsequently invited to play their first ever solo show at SXSW in Austin, Texas the following month. Flipo's follow up track "Killing My Time" was released in May 2018.
