FLOWN @weareflown-blog - Tumblr Blog

FLOWN is proud to announce the release of our first full-length album this October. Entitled The Crossing, the album is an offering and an incantation wrought from a collective experience of loss, pain, love, and the need for catharsis and transformation through songcraft, ritual, and heavy fucking metal. It engages the dualities of the real and the spiritual, love and fear, sex and power, grief and rage. It is a battle cry for the real, a path forged between darkness and light, a signpost at the intersection of the sacred and the profane. It is, at its most essential, a call to arms for rock and fucking roll.

The album will be released on streaming platforms on Thursday October 26th.

Album Release Show October 26th at Secret Project Robot with Outskirts, Serpentskirt, The Missing Footage.

#stormborn #throes #the crossing #flown

Stormborn/Throes was inspired by Daenerys Stormborn, Mother of Dragons, the desire to honor the dead, what it feels like to live with depression and mental illness, and the depth of rage endemic in the dark feminine after millennia suffering the distortions of patriarchy. From the forthcoming album "The Crossing"

This Mother's Day, FLOWN will be performing as a part of Naama Tsabar's piece Without at the Frieze Art Fair on Randall's Island, an architectural intervention turned music festival curated by Mindy Abovitz and Tom Tom Magazine. Tsabar has removed the floor from a booth inside the fair and used it to create an outdoor stage that will feature a mini-music festival comprised of underground bands with female percussionists, thus activating the space outside the confines of the fair tent and leaving an empty space inside.

FLOWN offers our performance on this stage as a testament to the presence of the goddess at these intersecting crossroads of birth and death, presence and absence, joy and sorrow, grief and love. AKA my mom died a year ago and Margot might go into labor on stage.

7″ Reviews

“...a black-hearted power trio called FLOWN. Making self-described "witch metal", they cite an array of doom, sludge, and riot grrrl influences from Sabbath to Sleep to Sleater-Kinney, while working an occultish bent via explorations in "tarot, astronomy, and the unconscious." Their melding of thick stoner metal riffs and soaring melodies seems to share a kindred spirit with Montreal's Yamantaka // Sonic Titan. But where those Canadian art schoolers distinguish themselves with pronounced Eastern inflections, FLOWN has got dark, guttural, deathlike screams.” Pitchfork

“a cymbal-crashing nod to both stoner doom and riot grrrl–an unlikely combination that satisfactorily mixes death growls and soaring arena guitars with earnest vocals.“ Impose

“Brooklyn power trio FLOWN are creeping out of the woodwork with a heavy, caustic resin of bluesy rock, sludge, metal and post-punk, presenting a music that seems to be equal parts Ut and Black Sabbath. One can hear the flinty merger of riot grrrl punk and hard psych in the flat-out motor that begins “Eyes of God,” which quickly shifts into pounding sludge with folksy harmonies, banshee wails and bilious distorted vocals in a strange intertwine. Headbanging is pretty much the only appropriate response as the three chant and pound away before returning to a close of Slant 6-like angularity. “Yearlong Eclipse” lilts and shouts along with sinewy, contorted blues-rock moves, enchanting voices theatrically undercut by stomach-churning grit and a murderous abrasion. While certainly a band to experience in the flesh if possible, FLOWN’s eponymous 45 brilliantly captures their menace, beauty and coiled energy.” Tiny Mix Tapes
