Description
Gatefold CD / Vinyl LP. London trio Flowers return with their second album . Over the course of ten intensely thrilling pop songs singer Rachel Kenedy’s ethereal vocals and Sam Ayres textured guitar are backed by the powerful metronomic beat of drummer Jordan Hockley. For this album they worked with producer Brian O’Shaughnessey (The Clientele Primal Scream My Bloody Valentine). It proved to be the perfect fit for Flowers the sessions enabling them to capture the essence of both their dynamic live sound and their distortion-laden home demos. Effortlessly blending pop songs with noise while leaving space for more stripped back elements the recordings strike a perfect balance between the sweetness of Rachel’s voice and Sam’s abrasive guitar stylings. Their musical inspirations from shoegaze C86 and New Zealand’s Flying Nun label are now evident. Highlights include the pop rush of “Bitter Pill” and the mesmeric slow-burning “Intrusive Thoughts”. Armed with a youthful intensity and determination that shows in their songs Flowers have succeeded in harnessing their singular magic.
