Flashes – The Upset

| Flashes - The Upset |
Release Date: Out Now
Another year starts and yet
another band emerges from the Badlands of Cornwall to see what the rest of the
world has to say about the art they’ve been crafting in their hovel. Or maybe
they’ve been living by the sea and existing on a diet of shrimp and cider. Who
can tell? Either way, new single ‘The Upset’ starts with a sinister and
slightly shifty beat before the whispered, shadowy vocals come floating in on a
curl of cigarette smoke. The guitars twitch and stutter in the shadows with a
hint of the Dick Dale’s about them as that persistent beat builds to prominence
until it’s invading your personal space and breathing down your neck. By the
time explodes around the two minute mark you have to be drawn in as the song evolves
in to something akin to Kobadelta meets Radiohead with Robert Smith behind the
production desk having listened to a steady diet of ‘Boy’ era U2. This is
introspective stuff but with expansive soundscapes and that’s a hard
combination to achieve.
