Fake Flowers


People need to start burying other people in steel coffins - garnish the iron tombstone with fake flowers and the memory of the dead will never rot like wood, petals and stems, rather live on in a slow fade. Silk Flowers craft fake flora. Little about them resembles anything organic, especially Avi's metallic vocal takes from the forever tomb. Turns out their first full-length comes out July 7 on Post Present Medium (thanks to MBV for the passive tip).


I picked up their Flash of Light 7" from them when they opened for No Age a while back at Clark University and have been enjoying it ever since.

They've also got an eight-track live set from WFMU up on their Free Music Archive available for stream/download here. I found out about that through the band's blog.

RSTB recently featured their track "Cannibals and Headhunters," which you can download here.
