“Beautifully burgeoned into life one moment, then finished with the meticulous delicacy of brushstrokes the next, there’s a magical eeriness to the songs… We cannot help but be spellbound” Louder Than War

“An insanely well-realized debut and one of the most genuinely interesting hauntological artifacts to enter the canon in years” Spectrum Culture

“Remarkable debut… Immediately poetic” Blow Up

“Incredibly beautiful. Chimehours…fit beautifully into current ghost/horror movies” Betreutes Proggen

“Folk-horror, ghost stories, retro cinema and British landscape lore… Fine stuff” Moonbuilding

“Their twists bewitch, work in the belly…Underneath The Earth is a landscape to be explored, in which light and dark, dream and fatality come together. From its depths, a presence manifests itself” Obskure

Flourishes

Grunge pop quintet with a 90s vibe

OVERBLOWN: NEW BAND OF THE DAY

Hooky 90s riffs ala Pavement/Weezer? Check! Lush vocals ala Wolf Alice? Check! A slacker vibe like Courtney Barnett? Check! Welcome to the world of Flourishes. Hailing from London in the UK, this quartet have a distinctly American vibe as they lethargically fuzz their way through many a melody and copious amounts of nods of alternative rock bands of yesteryear.‘Worse Than This’ is the group’s debut single, as far as I know. It is a champion slice of easy melodies, simple but catchy riffs, and a sense of comfort that is enveloping.
