Gone Down Meadowland is the much-anticipated debut album release from Norwich, UK psych outfit Floral Image, out now on the renowned Fuzz Club.

There is a mischief and daydream to the character of Floral Image, on full dynamic display across the record - a reflection of both the playful fraternity of band members Fergus Nolan (vocals, guitars), Jack Warner (vocals, keys), Matt Kennedy (bass guitar), Mitch Forsyth (drums, visuals), & Phil Whitton (guitars, visuals), and the ever-weaving textures they make together. It is an infrastructure that is unstructured; a body of work that bends and grows and shifts between light, dark, malaise, excitement. There are moments of head-down ferocity and, right there beside them, pools of pulsing wonderment. Fist and feather, hand in hand.

WATERPISTOL • www.instagram.com/waterpistolband

With their feet set firmly in both the sixties and seventies, sunglass-wearing, rock ‘n’ roll collective Waterpistol interpret the celestial makeup of 90s shoegaze with the late 60s unfolding of folk, jazz, and the blues, collectively formed on a mutual appreciation for the likes of Shack and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Dream-like and visceral, debut single ‘Living in a Dream’ lyrically resembled a melancholy and delusional state caused by self-isolation reflecting this stylistically using drawn-out guitar, time-based effects and layered vocals. October follow-up ‘Où est ton âme?’ saw the six-piece playlisted by DIY with their music receiving airplay from BBC Radio Wales and Amazing Radio. Across the last year alone, the band have made appearances at multiple live music events including Green Man Festival, FOCUS Wales, Nozstock and Bristol-based Down Stokes Festival.
