Strawflower Casts An Indie Rock Expanse With ‘Burned Blue EP’
Strawflower operates in pastels. The band’s sound is washed with abstractions and silent psychedelics. It is instantly atmospheric and enjoys exploring liberated spaces. Listening to their music infuses a sense of boundlessness, like you’re in a flat space with an unrelenting and unapologetic insistence on being itself. It’s like you’re standing in a large field of grass and you feel and see everything and nothing at the same time. Their latest release is the ‘Burned Blue EP’, a three-track collection that reinforces the beautiful bonds between surf rock, 90s indie, against an expanding pop sky.
The title track extrapolates the feeling of falling love, mingling with facets like dreams and destiny to form a surreal reality. Warm toned baritones absorb into the funk involved mellow rock riffs. Color is bound intricately with lyrical and sonic visuals. Blue of all gradients, shades, and essence leak into each other. ‘Tiki Bar’ blows like a warm summer breeze; its narratives matching its predecessor. And finally ‘Haunting of the Hollywood Hills’ ties it all in with its vintage Californian blues. The rock on this is more vivid and bold. Throws us back to 70s Kinks, some Pink Floyd and Queen.
