Charm

2013 collaboration between Christopher Larsen (Buildings Breeding) and DJ/Electronica artist Andrew Hoke (AKA Bird Peterson), Flowerss is Electro-Shoegaze at it's finest: twirling guitars drenched in feedback, atmospheric crescendos, thumping pulse and groovy trip-hoppy rhythm. Throw on the duo's debut release Charm and you'll be lulled into a sea of trickling beats before being washed over with a full wave of grunge-inspired guitar and emotive, almost ghost-like, vocals. With Hoke living in Austin and Larsen in Sacramento, the two friends and musicians collaborated via email for Flowerss, placing the culmination of their efforts on Charm. Lyrically, the songs are an honest look at mortality, Larsen having written the tunes after losing his father in 2010; the music: moody, changing and full of life.
