WHITE FLOWERS Within A Dream EP

12 EP Limited Edition White Vinyl
(*Only 500 copies pressed.)

White Flowers have today shared Within A Dream, the title track of a the 4-track EP of the same name released via Tough Love. The track is accompanied by a self-directed video. The four tracks on the EP came together earlier this year during various periods of enforced isolation, and somewhat inevitably reflect the conditions of their provenance, exploring themes of dissociation, multiple selves, and the role of the individual in an increasingly strange and fragmented world. Co-produced with Ali Chant (PJ Harvey, Perfume Genius, Portishead), Within A Dream combines home and studio recordings in ways that display the duos growing ability to switch between grand sonic gestures and subtle sonic abstractions. Alongside the three originals is a cover of Mama Cass Didnt Want to Have to Do It that closes the EP, and as with their version of Red House Painters Katy Song from their previous 12, is a further example of how defined their aesthetic has become, as theyre effortlessly able to shape the music of others to their own vision. Indeed, as with all their videos and records to date, the artwork for the single is again created entirely by the band, another example of their intentions to create a defined White Flowers universe. Brought up on the sounds of 80s Manchester though too young to have experienced it first hand, Prestons White Flowers, made up of Katie Drew and Joey Cobb, make gloriously gothic dreampop thats as ambiguous as it is beautiful and exciting and have previously released two limited edition 12 for Tough Love the now long-sold out Night Drive/Porta and Day By Day.
