Something Inside

Following up their well-received 2018 album "Used To Yesterday," LA's Smokecreens are back with the excellent new record "A Strange Dream." Produced by David Kilgour from NZ legends The Clean, "A Strange Dream" shows a band at the peak of it's talents, ably blending influences like The Go-Betweens, UK DIY indie and pop, and of course Flying Nun into a compelling, compulsive album. From the jaunty pop of opener "Fork In The Road" to the rocking "Streets of Despair" and the dreamy "On and On" this is a record that clearly shows a band that knows it's way around a timeless guitar riff and aching pop melody. Gorgeous ballads like "Nighttime Skies" and "I Love Only You" add a new depth to Smokescreens' sound, and the cover of Scrotum Poles' DIY classic "Pick The Cats Eyes Out" is perfect, and perfectly fun. A future classic.

From Corey Flood's debut album Hanging Garden out September 4th on Fire Talk.

Buy: ffm.to/coreyfloodphl

There’s a vague sense of unease that permeates Corey Flood’s debut full-length, Hanging Garden, out September 5th via Fire Talk. From the surface, the record appears to break through the dark fog of the band’s 2018 EP, Wish You Hadn’t, but just below lay themes of ambivalence, uncertainty, and anxiety, layered elegantly in fuzz. Recorded in Philadelphia by Jackie Milestone, mixed by Natasha Jacobs, and mastered by Sarah Register, Hanging Garden pushes through feelings of discomfort and repressed emotions to discover what truly lies beneath.

Born in Philly circa 2017, Corey Flood began as the post-grad bedroom project of bassist Ivy Gray-Klein (formerly of Littler) and drummer Juliette Rando. A month after their first show with guitarist Em Boltz, the band signed with New York’s Fire Talk Records and turned four planned demos into a full-fledged, delightfully menacing debut EP. Now, after two years of intense growth and collaboration, the trio continues their “whirlwind trajectory” with the long-awaited, nine-track LP, Hanging Garden.

Inspired by Throwing Muses, Helium, Pale Saints, and Brix Smith-Start’s work with the Fall, Gray-Klein calls Hanging Garden “a reckoning with internal discord.” Through soft melodies, lush guitars and churning rhythms, the dual vocals of Gray-Klein and Boltz recall relatable experiences with gaslighting, imposter syndrome, and repetitive thoughts. Hanging Garden feels intimate and familiar but is strewn with playful surprises, like 70s krautrock guitar work and samba-influenced drum parts. Hanging Garden is a mature stride forward, and a bewitching amble towards the unknown.

Corey Flood - Park Deli 7

Lyrics:

By this you will know 
That I am The Lord
With a staff in my hands 
I will strike the water of the Nile 
And it'll be changed into
Blood 
Boils
Fire and thunderstorms
Hail and 
Locusts and 
Darkness for three days 
Signs and 
Marvels and 
Rivers turn to blood
Pestilence 
Frogs and 
Killing of the firstborn son 

Living in black and white again
I'm living in the crystal night again
Send us a package from a friend
Tell us about democracy
Do it yourself
Pray for us now
Give us the power
Nobody gets hurt 
Let me send you a lemon battery
Too cold to bear 
Put down the gun 

The Nile will teem with frogs
Up to your palace and 
Into your bedroom and 
Onto your bed 
Earthquake 
Famine
Scorch the planet with fire 
Starvation Pestilence and 
Killing of the firstborn son

Living in black and white again 
Made it to the station in Dresden
Have you ever heard of a hamburger
Joseph Buys is not my friend
Living on a lemon battery 
I'm filling up the holes with 
Fat and grease 
Writing on the chalkboard's wet and cold
Too cold to bare 
Put down the gun 

How long will you refuse 
To humble yourself 
Before me

About midnight 
I will go through Egypt 
With the staff in my hand 
I will strike 
Mark the lamb's blood 
Above your door 
Killing of the firstborn son 

Living in black and white again
Lighting all the candles for my friends
Wake up and you take off all your clothes
Look at all the naked people go
Living in black and white again
How much longer Mother 
Til the end 
Can you see the freedom
that heaven sent 
I can see the old guarding station
