Not really sure where to start with this one. When I heard about this album, someone told me that this was what it was like to hear colors. The Flowers of Hell were founded in the early 2000's by Greg Jarvis, a synaesthetic, whose "compositions and productions are largely based upon his timbre-to-shape synaesthetic visions."
I can't even begin to name the incredible people who collaborated on this album. Musicians from Broken Social Scene, Spacemen 3, Ecstasy of Saint Theresa, Guided by Voices, Patti Smith, and many many more all helped out and played with The Flowers of Hell over the past decade.
Come Hell or High Water is definitely one of my favorite albums from last year. Although until recently it was only available on What.cd, it has now made its way onto mediafire for all of you lovelies to listen to. This is one band that more people should know about.
The songs themselves are a combination of instrumental post-rock and psychedelic tones that evoke warm feelings and a sense of peace. This is one for the headphones, late at night, drifting through the moonlight.
