Description:
.Despite being written over the course of a year in four different sessions with four different lineups, the songs on FLOWERS sound more cohesive than those on last year's BOO HUMAN. This experience encapsulates the spirit of Joan of Arc - a mentality that embraces contradictions and tears apart common musical structures, only to rebuild them without a blueprint. They continue to create an obscure combination of familiar, obvious ideas while sticking with the notion that "if it feels good, do it."
