RELEASE DATE
5/5/2017
In Sweden in the early-to-mid '70s, the egalitarian spirit that many thought revolutionary to punks in the UK was nothing new for the heads to be found enjoying the cult Swedish psychedelia of bands like
Träd, Gräs och Stenar
or
Älgarnas Trädgård
. It's exactly this lineage, forty plus years later, where one can find
Flowers Must Die
. The six-piece Swedish outfit's full-length debut on Rocket Recordings,
Kompost
, is a landmark moment for an outfit pursuing an improvisation-based approach removed from the codified realm of contemporary psych. It explores the unhinged territory fueled by diverse record collections, yet it's unique to their own collective headspace.
Kompost
shows them honing their improvisatory excursions into coherent song craft, amidst spectral techno and cosmic disco shapes, as the angular post-punk pop of
The Sugarcubes
sits alongside the narcotic clangor of prime
Royal Trux
, and one-take spontaneity locks horns with nocturnal revelation. Here the outward-looking spirit of 1971, and the anything-goes mentality of the Scandinavian freaks of yore, is transposed elegantly to a modern era in need of new horizons, and in a manner refreshingly bereft of retro chic.
