“…the Shadow Ring must surely be a foretaste of the attack’s apocalyptic aftermath, where emaciated human ghosts float callously across burning wastelands, performing occult rituals in praise of New Dark Ages.”

A FRUITS & FLOWERS FAV...

SOON....

HELLO. THIS IS A PRE-ANNOUNCEMENT FOR AN ANNOUNCEMENT WE MIGHT BE MAKING SOON. FRUITS & FLOWERS RETURNS WITH SOME NEW RELEASES IN THE COMING MONTHS. VINYL MANUFACTURING IS A QUAGMIRE & SLOW, BUT IT WILL BE WORTH KEEPING UP WITH US. 2016 IS OUR YEAR OR MAYBE 2017 OR MAYBE NEITHER.

When played at 33rpm, “Brave and Olde” has a Dylan quality to it. Thankfully, Odd Hope are a full 45rpms of sunshine pop. “Brave and Olde” is a simplistic mid-60’s Tin Pan ditty minus the Neil Diamond cocaine strut. Rather, it’s a humble and uncomplicated track — as is tradition with the growing Fruits and Flowers brand. B-side “I’ll Follow You Soon,” is another Monkees chase montage, eager to bask in glimmering guitar notes that float

WELL IT’S TIME TO BUY THIS ODD HOPE SINGLE. IT’S GETTING A BIT OF “HEAT” ON THE NET, & YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU GOT IN ON THE GROUND FLOOR. COMPARISONS TO EARLY NEIL DIAMOND, THE MONKEES & DYLAN ARE ALWAYS WELCOME! ODD HOPE IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON A FULL LENGTH LP THAT IS 100% KILLER.

ODD HOPE IS PLAYING THIS KILLER SHOW IN OAKLAND...NOT TO BE MISSED. ALL OF THESE BANDS ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, & THE WHITE HORSE IS A GREAT PLACE TO HANG OUT!!!! THERE IS MORE TO COME FROM FRUITS & FLOWERS, AN EXCITING REISSUE & MORE MUSIC FROM YOUR FAVORITE STUPID/SMART POP CREEPS.

GENEROUS REVIEW OF THE NEW SPLIT TAPE & THE RED, PINKS & PURPLES...

still-single

Michael O. – Really? LP (Fruits & Flowers)

RECOMMENDED

Solo full-length from the Mantles’ Michael Olivares, paired up again with TPK/Horrid Red member Edmund Xavier, albeit with a much more fleshed out, instrumentally diverse sound than appeared on the 7” they released last year (drums, electric guitar, synth, sax and hand percussion join the omnipresent acoustic guitar). Michael channels not-so-brand-New Zealand heavies like The Clean and The Chills big-time here, particularly anytime the keyboard makes an appearance (“Spider’s House” in particular), yet does so with such a knowing reverence that it never seems arch or suspicious. This is his sound, too. And what a sound, as the duo makes the best use of the brightness and shadows of the best Flying Nun groups, strumming their hands off in rapturous delight. You needed a smile today? Here you go. (https://fruitsandflowers.bandcamp.com) (Doug Mosurock)
