Come Hell Or High Water (Flowers Of Hell Album)
''Come Hell or High Water'' is the second studio album from the experimental rock group The Flowers of Hell. Released in April 2009, the album was recorded in over 40 sessions with 30 musicians in London, Prague, Toronto, Detroit, and Texas. According to an interview in ''Now'' magazine and a review in ''URB'', the album was conceived of as a celebration of synaesthesia, and composer Greg Jarvis based the composing, recording, arranging, and preliminary mixing on his synaesthetic visions. Noted guests on the record include Patti Smith/Iggy Pop collaborator Ivan Kral on bass who had been a mentor to Jarvis, mix work from Spacemen 3's Peter Kember, strings from British Sea Power's Abi Fry and The Clientele's Mel Draisey and Broken Social Scene's Julie Penner, amongst others. The LP sleeve is one of six displayed at the Tate Britain and Paris's Musee d'Orsay in their major 2020 Aubrey Beardsley retrospective. Beardsley's work was adapted for the cover by Greg Jarvis and featu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
The Flowers Of Hell
The Flowers of Hell are a transatlantic experimental orchestra made up of a revolving line-up of 16 or so independent musicians based in Toronto and London. Their mostly instrumental sound builds bridges between classical music and post-rock, shoegaze, space rock and drone music, often resulting in their being described as an orchestral extension of the work of The Velvet Underground and Spacemen 3. They are led by synesthete composer Greg Jarvis. Much of their repertoire is an exploration of the timbre-to-shape synesthesia that causes Jarvis to involuntarily perceive all sounds as floating abstract visual forms. Accolades The group's music has been championed by Lou Reed, Kevin Shields ( My Bloody Valentine),''Now'' magazinPerlich's Picks/ref> and Pete 'Sonic Boom' Kember (Spacemen 3) who mentored the group through the creation of their debut album. They have had positive coverage from media including ''Rolling Stone'', NME, Pitchfork, and BBC Radio. History The group's name c ...
