Fresh Flowers Track

flowThe indie world swoons when Flowers come into play; they’ve been crafting the dreamier side of indiepop for some time, and we here at ATH eagerly await their brand new release. This song is probably one of the finer pieces they’ve done. I think the recording is done perfectly, in every facet. Their new record is titled Everybody’s Dying to Meet You, and it’s being released by Kanine in the US (Fortuna Pop in UK). While you’re listening to this song, try to think of something else that sounds this damn good; I bet you cant!

New Jam from Flowers

flowersWhen I first played this song, I immediately thought Flowers was going for something darker than their pop stylings of early releases.  But, while that does appear to be the approach taken, the infectious voice of singer Rachel brings about a greater sense of light.  They surround the pristine vocal with swirling guitars and a down-trodden beat that broods throughout the track.  If you’re looking for a song that juxtaposes beauty with a gritty underworld then you’ll need to look no further than this jam. No idea if this comes with a release or just a jam the band wanted to share, but I’ll keep you posted as I know more.

Noisy Girl-Pop from Flowers

There’s not too much information out there concerning Flowers, but I guess that’s too be expected considering the group’s name.  What I can tell you is that the UK outfit is going to have a four-song EP coming your way very soon from the good folks over at Cloudberry Records.  On this single, there’s a rush of distorted guitar and pounding drums, encouraged by the spritely female vocals that flow effortlessly throughout the track. This is the sort of music I dig at the moment, combining bits of noise and dainty elements of indie pop.  The EP should be out soon!
