Flower In My Lung: Flower In My Lung

Billed as a post rock/metal band, Moscow natives Flower In My Lung formed in 2011. This is a review of their self-titled 2013 release. In the band are Dmitriy Smetankin (guitar), Roman Golovin (guitar), Fedor Boborykin (bass) and Roman Tochilkin (drums).

What really struck me about this album are the cool guitar sounds creating a plethora of textures and moods. At times ambient, other times quite heavy, there is enough variety here to keep this instrumental album from being repetitive or boring. This is really quite intriguing stuff. The first track “Track 01�, weird name I know, starts with a somber guitar arpeggio before the beat starts, transitioning into clean guitar notes and slightly distorted riffs. I really dig the dynamics in this one. “After A Long Winter� starts out post metal, quite pretty and serene before morphing into heavier riffage and off kilter tempos. The change ups continue making this one of the most progressive tracks here. “Remember This Day And This Night� is another melodic gem, almost dreamy in nature whereas “A Flower� features great chord progressions and a good amount of crunch. There are five more tracks to dig into so rest assured there is lots of good stuff to be found.

Flower In My Lung has been another nice find from Russia. Hopefully we will hear more from them soon. Thanks to our good friends at the Addicted Label for bringing this music to light.
