Flowers - Pull My Arm

Review by Kate Winson

Flowers' latest album, Pull My Arm, is a captivating and ethereal journey through dreamy soundscapes and haunting melodies. The London-based trio, comprising of Rachel Kenedy on vocals and guitar, Sam Ayres on guitar, and Jordan Hockley on drums, have crafted a collection of songs that are both introspective and anthemic.

The album opens with the title track, "Pull My Arm," an atmospheric and moody track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. Kenedy's haunting vocals float over Ayres' intricate guitar work, creating a sense of unease and longing. "Ego Loss" follows, with its driving rhythm and soaring chorus, showcasing the band's ability to create a powerful and uplifting sound.

Throughout the album, Flowers' lyrics explore themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. "Undergrowth" is a standout track, with its poignant lyrics and delicate instrumentation. "It's hard to see the light when you're undergrowth," Kenedy sings, capturing the feeling of being lost and uncertain.

The album's production is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal layering seamlessly to create a lush and immersive sonic landscape. The band's influences are evident, with nods to shoegaze, post-punk, and indie rock, but they manage to create a sound that is uniquely their own.

Summary by Kate Winson

Pull My Arm is a stunning album that showcases Flowers' talent and artistry. It's a must-listen for fans of dreamy, atmospheric rock music.
