Regular John's debut The Peaceful Atom is a Bomb landed them a triple j feature album, Big Day Out appearances, ARIA nominations and the declaration of Best Rock Act in the 2009 Rolling Stone awards. Oblivious to what that all meant, they disappeared for three years. On a journey, you might say. Strange Flowers is the reason.
Slume is the first single from their upcoming album Strange Flowers. Released September 14th 2012.
In the week leading up to Slume's release, Regular John sent five videos to their audience, each one featuring unreleased music and cryptically revealing a fragment of the song's lyrics.
Slume is an open heartbreak bandaged in fuzz, Syd Barrett slides and Zepped out time signature changes.
Choosing to record again with longtime collaborator Tim Powles (The Church), Strange Flowers stretches sonically and emotionally into dimensions only hinted on their debut, with Powles production bringing layered headphone bliss while retaining the power of the bands live sound.
The album takes you through epic multi movements like 'Sky Burial' and the Philip K Dick inspired 'Time Machine' to the fragile and melodic reverberations of 'San Isidore' and 'Devils Face'. Thick with a guitar sound not heard since the walls of Siamese Dream, the doom pop of 'Crystal Ball' and the joyous pummel of 'Strange Flower' will have you humming their melodies for days.
