Exploding Flowers Release Across a Sea

Leave a comment

I’m awaiting my copy of Watermelon/Peacock in the mail, and yet I’m still completely excited there’s another early listen by way of their last single before the big drop from Exploding Flowers. Having adored the band since stumbling upon their last LP, this tune feels like the connecting piece of pop that’s going to make the listen to spectacular. It’s got this casualness or effortlessness to it, bringing out gentle nods of warmth and slightly obscured jangles on the back of a bouncing drum beat. It seems fitting as an album closer too, as it breezily whips from your speakers and out into the world, leaving you with this global yearning that hopefully brings brighter days. Grab a copy of the new LP from Meritorio Records today!

Another Single from Exploding Flowers

Leave a comment

An unexpected joy for this year will be getting to hear a new album from Exploding Flowers; they return this Spring with their first new release in 5 long years. This tune finds them in prime guitar pop glory; they settle into the circular seance of guitars, with the occasional drum fill adding in some textural depth. You’ll find a lot of joy in the way the vocals sit, soothingly swimming about in the center of the tune, though they’re not overproduced, so they fit perfectly into the grander picture being pushed out here. And like that, the wind blows the song into a tumbling breakdown and its over, as there’s no need to linger, because you’ll be back to play it again in no time. Watermelon/Peacock will be out on March 21st via Meritorio Records.

Exploding Flowers Announce Watermelon/Peacock

If you go back to 2020, you can check out my Album of the Year list, which included Stumbling Blocks; it was an LP by adored, but fairly unknown, act Exploding Flowers. I’d thought they’d gone the way of most bands, but lo and behold, I wake up to an email from the great folks at Meritorio with news of a brand new LP! Our first peek wastes no time, rolling in on a wave of guitars and steadied thumping on the drum kit; the vocals have this almost wistful exuberance, joyfully looking for promise of any sort on the horizon. There’s this wall of charm that washes over in the melody of the tune, and I’m finding it incredibly hard to not just spin this on repeat all day long! Watermelon/Peacock is out on March 21st.
