You may have spotted a track by Flowers on the recent Unpopular mix ‘Revolution Summer’. If you like sketchy (in the best sense of the word) thrashy Pop Noise then you’ll have dug it, I’m sure. I file it next to the likes of The Wildhouse, but that’s me showing my age for you. If you like your Pop artefacts on the handmade side then Flowers are assuredly for you, as this recent lathe-cut single shows. Limited to just 30 copies, I’m grateful to the ever-wonderful Bleeding Gold label for sending me this little gem. Also in this care package from San-Diego was the ‘Kill People You Like’ fanzine. Gee, remember fanzines? Blimey. Let’s all take a trip to Analogue City.
You can pick up your own copy of the ‘zine (with ace 20 track compilation ‘Seventeen On The Inside’) from the Bleeding Gold store. And whilst the Flowers lathe-cut is sold out, you can still grab the digital release here, or the two handmade CD volumes of their demos here.
Just picked up the "Kill People You Like" fanzine, I was a little disappointed by the content of the zine. It's more about the introduction to the artists featured in the CD comp "Seventeen On The Inside". Although the CD is excellent but i found the zine a bit like a write-up in the Mojo free-CD page. I was hoping the zine will be a proper old style zine features some comments, charts, manifestos and the usual rubbish.
