J C Flowers, “Driving Excitement And The Pleasure Of Ownership” (ATP, 2016)
British guitar-psych-pop outfit, a lot more acid-damaged than anything the U.K. has come up with for a while. Gently sinister, Velvets-inflected strum that wafts languorously, then abruptly splits into discordant fragments of bubble. Cool stuff, like middle-schoolers sniffing magic markers in the art room and trying to re-record “Tomorrow Never Knows” with toy instruments.
