Flaural Shares 1616 Video via FLOOD Magazine, Debut Album Out 4/19
Denver-based four-piece Flaural is set to release their debut LP, Postponement, which is due out April 19, 2019 via Staycation Records and can be pre-ordered now HERE. Following a string of EPs — 2015's Thin King and 2016's Over Imaginary Cigarettes — and produced by James Barone (Beach House, Tennis), Flaural's Postponement developed over a trying three years for the experimental rock band. On March 27, 2017, frontman Collin Johnson's father passed away after a long struggle with ALS, and the album's cover artwork serves as an homage to his death: an image resembling a clock with hands that read 3:27. The album closer “1616” is being released today on the two year anniversary of his death. FLOOD Magazine has premiered the video for the track calling it “fuzzy, feel-good vibes from a very dark place,” and adding, “If Flaural are any indication, Denver, Colorado, is sounding really good right now.”
Flaural's 'The Thinker' at Stereogum - Debut Album 'Postponement' Out April 19
Denver-based four-piece Flaural is set to release their debut LP, Postponement, which is due out April 19, 2019 and can be pre-ordered now HERE. Following a string of EPs — 2015's Thin King and 2016's Over Imaginary Cigarettes — Postponement has been three years in the making. During that time, the band experienced both communal growth and personal loss while writing and recording and playing shows across the United States. On March 27th, 2017, frontman Collin Johnson's father passed away after a long struggle with ALS, and Postponement's album cover serves as an homage to his death: an image resembling a clock with hands that read 3:27. The album's first single, “The Thinker,” shared via Stereogum today, was originally written following his father's diagnosis, with Johnson singing, “Nobody likes when you're not well / Come up, come up, and feel better now.” The song's lyrics were reworked after he passed, adding the line, “Unanswered questions still haunt me.” The upbeat, emotional track ends with a dark, hectic, instrumental frenzy of piercing baritone saxophone squeaks layered over sporadic, aggressive guitar and driving drums.
