London’s Night Flowers release their new album Fortune Teller on October 25th 2019 and the band has released the title track as a taster. The song is forceful, pulsating with intensity and energy. It reminds of The Sundays, and amongst … Continue reading Night Flowers – Fortune Teller
London’s Night Flowers cover Chrissie Hynde’s poignant tribute from 1983 to fellow Pretenders founder James Honeyman-Scott on this faithful to the original version. If you know the original then I am sure you will concur with my comments but if it’s a new song to you the guitars/chimes will/still haunt no matter who is playing them. All monies from this release go to C.A.L.M (Campaign Against Living Miserably). Facebook Continue reading Night Flowers – 2000 Miles
Hey Love is the third single to be lifted from the forthcoming album Wild Notion. It has 1960’s girl band vocals blended with alt rock guitars and if The Concretes were shoegaze orientated they may have well sounded like this. The two b-sides are not bad either. The previously unreleased You Don’t Tell Me sounds like a Twisterella outtake whilst the band’s cover of Jane Wiedlin’s Rush Hour sounds as poppy as the original. Hey Love was available as a limited edition cassette but it’s now sold out but you can still get it digitally from here. Facebook Continue reading Night Flowers – Hey Love
Losing the Light is Night Flowers first new track for some time now. It’s a fine slice of gloomy indiepop/dreampop that has a fluctuating intensity about it’s presence. It’s also a fine taster for their debut album that hopefully will see light of the day in 2018. Facebook Continue reading Night Flowers – Losing the Light
Night Flowers have released two seasonal recordings recorded at home on their 8 track. Both of these recordings are pretty decent in particular No Rest which is as dreamy as can be thanks to the lovely shimmering guitars. Christmas is available for nowt although donations will be gratefully received and donated to MIND and TEENAGE CANCER TRUST. You know it makes sense….

Night Flowers return with both a new vocalist and single. Sleep is at the poppier end of the shoegazing barometer and new singer Sophia Pettit’s voice is used to great effect alongside the shimmering guitars. Flip side Sitting Pretty sees the band still sounding like an early Pains of Being Pure At Heart but, hey, that is no bad thing. If you want a band that crosses shoegazing with indiepop then you have found them! Sleep is out on Dirty Bingo Records. Get it here. The band will headline the critical nights alldayer on November 1st – details here. Facebook … Continue reading Night Flowers – Sleep

Embers is taken from Night Flowers new 10″ single which is due out at the beginning of April on Dirty Bingo Records.

Get it – it’s flippin’ great! Facebook Continue reading Night Flowers – Embers
