New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ WiFi PR Group) Fans of The Cure, Joy Division, Interpol,
Editors will find Flowers in
Flames compelling and a surefire way to find a new favorite in an up-and-coming independent group. They've gained even more traction internationally than back at home, having their latest EP,
Everything and Nothing, peak at No. 8 on the European alternative charts. Flowers in Flames' frontperson Cynthia Dimitroff says, "We have taken a Post-Punk foundation and given it a cutting edge sound for today."
Their latest accomplishment is being featured on WiFi PR Group's digital mixtape, Indie Anthems Vol. 7, released at both Pitchfork
Music Festival and Lollapalooza.
As can be heard on this album and their recordings, guitarist
David Chavez and vocalist/keyboardist/guitarist Cynthia Dimitroff have a powerful but playful give and take, with forceful guitarwork from Chavez and melodic theatricality from Dimitroff that give Flowers in
Flames their engaging Post-Punk Neo-Psychedelic feel. This includes their self-titled debut album (2008), which was mixed by the band and Todd Tobias of Guided By Voices, and their 2012 EP,
Everything and Nothing.
Music columnist Mike Mercer mentioned Flowers in
Flames in his goth-noir encyclopedia,
Music to Die For: The Last Great Guide to the Underground Scene, released in 2009. In a review, Mercer describes their [track] "Chameleon," as "a tense affair but with a resilient melodic heart" having "a darker sound, the air gathering timidly around the bravely burning vocal. Noisy succulence from a band embracing the post-punk spirit with just the right balance between tunes and a torrid tonic."
Over the years, Flowers in
Flames have been featured in the press, including The Big Takeover magazine, Skyscraper magazine, Cleveland Plain Dealer and several other blogs and online review sites. Mike Perazzetti of
Radio Casbah says, "While described as post-punk, and it certainly is that, I find strong undercurrents of numerous early punk influences as well as strong hints of dark 80s and goth mixed throughout."
