Los Angeles post-punk revivalists Drinking Flowers have shared the second single off of their upcoming album New Swirled Order. "Special High" premiered this morning viaFlaunt Magazine. The band also took some time to chat with the writer about their favorite tracks from the UK in the 80s. Check out the track and feature here!

 

Taking from the book of Factory Records era post-punk, "Black Monday" is an incredibly dark yet, catchy slice of synth-pop. Vocalist / guitarist Alex Galindo explains, "'Black Monday' popped into my head, and it seemed to be the perfect two words to capture my feelings at the time. I was depressed, completely uninspired from my day job, and felt trapped. I wanted to make a really dumb and simple pop song with a lot of repetition and only a couple variations floating around. It's sort of a metaphor for the constant flow of uncreative non-liberating work most of us find ourselves doing."

 

Drinking Flowers originated in Orange County. Shrugging off the shackles of surf and garage, they quickly moved to LA and within a few years established their own pop underground with a couple of washed out EPs. Most notably the transitional "Shadow Show" - whose cover art saw a collaboration with Vice News artist Alex Schubert.

 

New Swirled Order will grace your ears March 18th 2016 on LP, digital & cassette.
