Brooklyn's Avery Friedman just released a new single that our readers are going to adore. "Flowers Fell" lands squarely in the genres of music we cover. It's equal parts indie rock, indie folk, and bedroom pop. It's a great mixture of a fully fleshed out sound while still having that intimate, bedroom recording vibe. The song is gorgeous and uplifting at times even with the feedback drone that comes in and out throughout the song. There's even an unexpected feedback heavy guitar solo towards the end that never feels out of place. "Flowers Fell" takes a lot of the styles we know and love and mixes them in such a way that Avery Friedman's latest feels completely fresh and new.
Avery Friedman says of her latest single:
“The opening melody for 'Flowers Fell' came to me on a headphone-less walk home one night down Greene Avenue in Brooklyn. I had noticed that the flowers that once lined the branches had been replaced by leaves -- seemingly in the blink of an eye. I was briefly disappointed until I considered that the petals had made way for something more sustainable – and equally full of life. The song became a meditation on the concept of place – how things of our surroundings like ‘sidewalks,’ and ‘balconies’ and ‘trees,’ can act as fixed backdrops upon which we measure our personal evolutions (and the evolutions of our relationships) across the span of many seasons.”
You can listen to "Flowers Fell" below. New Thing is due out April 18 and is available for pre-order through Bandcamp. For more on Avery Friedman, check out the artist on Instagram and Facebook.
