Second Nature
- Flying Colors- Second Nature
- Shrink-wrapped
Flying Colors is the talent-ridden supergroup consisting of guitarist Steve Morse, drummer Mike Portnoy, Neal Morse, bass player Dave LaRue and the comparatively new talent, pop singer/songwriter Casey McPherson. The band challenged conventional wisdom about combining virtuoso music and melodic songwriting in their new album, Second Nature.

The first album was very much a blind date, Mike Portnoy explains. Although we already had Team Dregs of Steve/Dave and Team Transatlantic of myself/Neal, it was the first time that the five of us had collaborated together as a group. This time there was an existing chemistry, we had not only the prior experiences of making the debut album but also the 2012 tour as well.

Second Nature , the sophomore statement from Flying Colors is released via Mascot Label Group / Music Theories Recordings on September 30, 2014. Sporting stunning artwork from the legendary designer Hugh Syme and bookended by two tracks of truly epic stature Open Up Your Eyes and the multiple-part Cosmic Symphony the album is every bit as breathtaking as the debut.

Portnoy stresses that the music s proggier path was not conscious at all. The drummer continues: Direction was never even discussed. We just did what we do. I think perhaps not having a producer to trim the fat possibly led to the songs breathing and expanding a bit more.

Perhaps Steve Morse sums things up best with the statement: This is an album full of many layers. The more you listen, the more you can hear. It s an album to keep listening to.
