flakebelly // ordinary treasure chests


An indie-folk rumination on the urge to get away from it all and focus on the simple things in life, the ordinary treasure chests. With guitar, accordion and voice, 'Ordinary Treasure Chests' is an exploration of blossoming love and it's attendant hopes.

Ordinary Treasure Chests

flakebelly // she loves like a vampire

A rollicking, drums and bass-laden ride through the deepest genre-bending corners of flakebelly's malleable, musical mind. Fusing elements of funk, soul, blues rock and hip-hop into a subtle flow of fractal sound, 'She Loves Like a Vampire' examines themes of dependence and desire, filtered through flakebelly's ever-present lovelorn lense. Gone as quickly as it had arrived in a riot of colour and sensation, like a half-remembered dream.

She Loves Like a Vampire

flakebelly // sleeping through the day

'Sleeping Through the Day' sees flakebelly in a danceable mood with an infectious slice of indie-rock, genetically modified to get your toes tapping and hips wiggling. Detailing the joys of staying in bed on a lazy day. A steady beat, a pumping bass, with tasteful blues guitar embellishments. A rockabilly guitar solo and psychedelia-inspired backwards guitars. Laid back vocals snoozing on top. Pull up the covers, re-draw the curtains and slumber on.

Pig Town

flakebelly is an enigmatic songsmith from The Orkney Islands, blurring the boundaries between indie rock and acoustic folk-jazz.

Always seeking new sounds and inspiration, his music carries a distinct flavour with jazzy pianos, soaring high-end vocals and sizzling blues guitar riffs framing his introspective, poetic lyrics. His songs are sometimes acoustic - drawing from the well of traditional finger-picked styles of the British Isles, and sometimes electric - allowing funky drumming, chugging bass guitar and his more indie-rock and psychedelic affectations to shine.

flakebelly began his musical odyssey in 1980's England, miming to The Beatles and 50's Rock 'n' Roll mix cassettes with a tennis racket, watching himself in the reflection of his parent's microwave. Picking up a guitar with intent aged 15, he is yet to put it down. Initially learning some chops in a typically psychedelic student-rock band, he set out alone as the style-defying musical migrant he is today.

After recently moving to a distant Scottish island, flakebelly constructed a small home studio and is currently learning to self-record, mix and master his ever-more diverse catalogue of songs.

Releasing a lo-fidelity, home-recorded debut album, 'Rotten!' in 2020, flakebelly is currently focused on singles, believing they offer more opportunity for his perpetually evolving sound.
