Description
First, let's meet back up with the Molochs-you remember them, right? Their America's Velvet Glory was the earliest burst of light and energy to hit in 2017, an album of electrified rock 'n' roll like Dylan and Lou Reed by a band named after the Ginsberg-ian glutton god who demanded the sacrifice of all things good and pure. But now it's 2018 and Moloch himself is fatter and happier than ever, so the Molochs couldn't just make another record. After Glory showed the world who they were, they needed to make an album that showed what they could do. So Flowers In The Spring is where the Molochs worked harder, thought harder and fought harder to be the kind of band that the times demand: "I like to think the world just needs some good solid songs out there," founder Lucas Fitzsimons says. "It's simple. It's not easy . but it's simple."America's Velvet Glory, their first-ever record for L.A.'s Innovative Leisure label, had sparked their first-ever U.S and European tours, first-ever festival sets, first-ever international press and more. (Top music mag Mojo even said they'd made one of the year's best albums-"Any year!") Follow-up Flowers bloomed almost exactly a year later at Long Beach's Jazzcats studio between December of 2017 and January of 2018, where Fitzsimons and longtime band member Ryan Foster had recorded Glory. By the time they'd returned, they had a slate of songs that had come to Fitzsimons in flash moments, written on nerve-wracking transcontinental flights or on isolated nights in an L.A. apartment, captured at once in bursts of insight or rescued from almost-abandonment in discarded notebooks.As on Glory, inspiration from Syd Barrett, Dylan, Nikki Sudden and kindred spirit Peter Perrett of the Only Ones was at work, but the Molochs are endlessly (appropriately?) ravenous when it comes to things to read and listen to and learn from. On Flowers they'd refine and recombine their sound, working in that long tradition of poets who cover (or discover) themselves in pop songs. "To Kick In A Lover's Door" bl
