Floral Print - Mirror Stages - Music & Performance - Vinyl

For Atlanta outfit Floral Print, what began as a chance meeting on Facebook between drummer Paul DeMerritt and singer / guitarist Nathan Springer has sprouted into a perpetually exciting, challenging and unpredictable collaboration. The pair first started practicing and performing in late 2014 and quickly started honing their penchant for dizzying song structures and erratic rhythms rooted in pop sensibilities. The debut EP woo, recorded with bassist George Pettis (100 Watt Horse) and producer Graham Tavel, showcased floral printâs vibrant pastiche of psych-pop, early emo, ambient and deconstructionist rock. Following woo, the duo (rounded out by a rotating cast of bassists) embarked on numerous tours throughout the East Coast and Midwest, making friends and tightening up their sonic communication skills. In summer 2016, Floral Print once again linked up with Tavel to record it's debut full-length mirror stages at Broad Street Visitorâs Center in Downtown Atlanta. These new songs display a marked change in tone from woo, as glimmers of noise, distorted melancholy, and manic energy imbued the band's sound with more nuance and stylistic aberrations. Floral printâs ability to defy genre convention sidesteps any feelings of forced technical showmanship as it's mercurial sense of melody and rhythm is always couched in sincerity.
