White Flowers are Joey Cobb and Katie Drew, a Preston-based duo (the geographic aspect is not without meaning here as the artists point to the North England's atmosphere as one of the biggest inspirations) who is called, and it's hardly an exaggeration, "one of the most exciting young bands in the UK right now". Their long-play debut Day by Day is bound to make some noise on the dreamy music scene.
There's some of Beach House's dreaminess, some of The KVB's industrial ambiance and some of Still Corners' warm and tropical beauty in the duo's music. It is fueled by Drew's exceptionally dreamy vocals and tons of reverbs and layered sounds. The melodies may be simple but the point here is to make an ocean of dreaminess and this is a goal the British definitely reached (just listen to songs like Night Drive or Day by Day to feel like sinking under the airy waves of this wonderful dream pop). It is also kept in a particularly dark atmosphere, no wonder that among the tags describing the album, one can find noir pop as well.
The story says that the album was being written and polished for years while the artists learnt how to create their music from zero. This resulted in a release you can feel was carefully composed and treated with love in every second of its runtime. Another thing is that it depicts the couple's feelings from teenagehood to their twenties and all of this time's uncertainty, doubts and weirdness or, in Drew's words: "it’s come of age in this weird apocalyptic time".
