The
Swedish psychedelic rock band, Flowers must Die are back with a new double
vinyl release on the Kommun2 label. It features 8 instrumental songs spread
over the 4 sides. The material on this LP is a mix of old and new material with
some recorded as long ago as 2008. The record starts off with Jamfota which
gets you into the comfort zone of the band but then when Enio starts it gets
very tripped out stuff with strange sounds, intense bass lines, driving
rhythms, and just damn freaked out! Ennio jam sort of fades away, just before
you think you have had enough… Spindlarnas Träd has quite a heavy riff and is
lead by the violin and later the electric guitar along the mighty path of
destruction. Köket Brinner maintains this dark brooding theme. Hörsägen brings
things back down to earth in a floating style but still freaky. Gkenvandring is
a side long track that has a lead by a heavy bass line but then slowly takes on
its on universe as the guitar drive the melodic and also noisy aspect and the
synths and sounds create the intensity. Make sure you are strapped in properly.
Side D starts off with Blågylta and is another intense one lead by a repetitive
rhythm-groove. IT kind of freaks you out the way they raise some of the instruments
volume quite dramatically without notice to keep you on guard. Now, the trip is
ending. FMD are a quite special psychedelic experience travelling in their own
special musical universe sometimes alongside groups like the Spacious Mind and
Hawkwind and other times in a more tripped out universe. I have seen them three
times live and they are always cool and interesting. Freak out..
