“The optimistic besties in flor aren’t waiting for a big hit. They’re making it happen.”

“This palpable connection is the basis for flor’s effervescent rock music, which has established the Oregon [band] as one of the last remaining happy-go-lucky rock acts in an industry that continues to cater to the ongoing pop-punk resurgence.”

“It’s the kind of music that hits hard and fast, enchanting the ears while inspiring the heart at the same time.”


Hood River, Oregon’s alt-pop pride and joy flor today make their first release of the year with “Same Color as the Sun.” Gently rising from a vulnerable, celestial place, the new single sees the band in a state of creative refresh as they’ve learned to no longer fear the intimacy of sharing their art with the world. Unfolding into all-consuming fuzzed out guitars and anthemic vocals, “Same Color as the Sun” signifies the next chapter for the beloved group – Stream now via Enci Records and ONErpm.


Lyrically, the track is about learning to love again, in a way that’s so fresh and new, it feels previously untapped. This sentiment is mirrored in the way that flor is feeling newfound freedom in their artistry. In this case, the lyric “How did you get my world to spin again?” holds a double meaning for the band.


With their latest single, singer Zach Grace says, “So often artists are expected to have the right words to say, but more often than not I can’t find those words. I wanted to write a song that expressed just how much I couldn’t express my feelings. It’s a love song that tries to say ‘You are the world to me. You are the sun, the life, the color, the intensity the sun brings – you are that to me.’”
