Corey Flood's Debut Album 'Hanging Garden' Is Out Now!
The debut record from Corey Flood Hanging Garden is out today!! Inspired by Throwing Muses, Helium, Pale Saints, and Brix Smith-Start’s work with the Fall, Hanging Garden reflects “a reckoning with internal discord.” From the surface, its nine tracks appear to break through the dark fog of Wish You Hadn’t, but just below lay themes of ambivalence, uncertainty, and anxiety, layered elegantly in fuzz. Soft melodies, lush guitars, and churning rhythms shroud relatable tales of gaslighting and self-doubt. Playful surprises also abound, like 70s krautrock guitar work and samba-influenced drum parts.
