Wooden Flowers shares a glimpse into their upcoming album with a new single ‘The Stranger’, on Gravitas Recordings July 12th. Wooden Flowers is a collaboration between Michal Menert and Adam Corey Tenenbaum, which blossomed while working together co-producing and creating otherworldly sound design as the creative team for Mickey Hart of The Grateful Dead. These two very talented artists began to work together on more experimental music and wanted an outlet to showcase this different sound. They released the ‘Diffused Light’ EP in 2021, and have continued to make music together, on top of touring with huge acts and the rebirth of Pretty Lights. Michal Menert has his hand in countless projects and collaborations, a true testament to his artistic mind and amazing creativity, spanning all genres and styles. Adam, as Giant Metal Crickets, creates abstract sonic explorations, and has lent his unique guitar and production to members of Dead & Co, various artists, albums and film work. This upcoming album is truly a journey through all of their artistic sensibilities, and ‘The Stranger’ is the perfect start before we fully dive in.


“The Stranger begins like an old western film on a distant world, dust dancing upon beams of broken sunlight, as you feel both opportunity and danger sharing the shadows all around.” - Wooden Flowers

Anchor Bay, California based electronic music artist and producer Michal Menert draws breath from the world that surrounds him, transmuting daily inspiration into music that is singularly his own. 

“A synthesis of past, present, and future, elegantly woven together by the hands of Michal Menert.” – Huffington Post on Space Jazz

A youth steeped in a broad swath of both Eastern and Western musical traditions gives Menert a deep palate from which to draw; his passion for original analog sounds coupled with a vast knowledge of music history has given him a unique ability to pull from the global creative canon with ease. A multi-instrumentalist, he incorporates live guitar and keys into his final production for a full sound and rich feel. 

As Menert co-produced the chart topping Pretty Lights album Taking Up Your Precious Time it was natural that he was the first artist to join Pretty Lights Music. His debut solo album Dreaming of a Bigger Life was released in 2010, followed by 2012’s mega-LP Even If It Isn’t Right. In winter of 2015 Menert released the highly anticipated Space Jazz, followed by fall 2015’s debut release by his band Michal Menert & the Pretty Fantastics, 1. His next release is expected in winter 2018.

In the live realm, Menert supplied sound design for Dead & Co tours in 2016 and 2017. Additionally, he supplied sound design on Mickey Hart’s Planet Drum rerelease in Fall 2016. Building on that relationship, Menert in both a featured performer and co-producer on Hart’s next studio record, slated for release in the fall of 2017.

Menert’s reputation as a live performer continues to grow, as he brings his music to fans nationwide via both his septet, Michal Menert & The Pretty Fantastics, and his 22-piece all-star ensemble the Michal Menert Big Band. His collaborations have led to the formation of myriad ongoing side projects including Manic Menert (with Manic Focus), Half Color (with Paul Basic) & Club Scouts (with Mux Mool). Over the years Menert has shared the stage with a number of musical luminaries including STS9, Bassnectar, Umphrey’s McGee, and more, and played legendary venues including the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, The Gorge in Washington and the Red Rocks Amphitheatre (twice in 2016 alone.)

Committed to a community driven approach to collaborative creativity, Menert works hand in hand with producers he chooses for his own record label, Super Best Records. A dynamic and ideological producer, collaborating and working closely with a new generation of hip-hop & EDM producers, Menert is dedicated to bringing a new musical vision to life free from limitation.
