The British duo White Flowers made a great impact on my personal view of the dream pop/shoegaze music out there a year ago with the fantastic debut album Day by Day. There's some new material now from the duo: the short EP Are You sounds differently but it's not a bad sign at all.
Although their official band description says they are "isolated from any kind of music scene and enveloped by the cold Brutalism of Preston" (I love this sentence really), their music fits a broader environment of the dreamy but also post-punk-like cold musicians like The KVB for instance. But this can be deceiving as they managed to make themselves known for being quite genre-fluid: Day by Day was utterly ethereal but its remixes made a perfect SPC ECO-style trip-hop experience. This time, their songs seem to be lighter with more pop in their dream pop. It seems to be disposed of many layers to show more of the melodic and sweet side of their music. But the impressive atmosphere-generating skills can be heard here as well, mainly on my favourite here This Is Not with its deep and airy backgrounds.
The British will open for Beach House on the incoming Euro tour and I can't wait to check them live.
