Flocks' first release of 2020 the dreamy eruptive "Luna"

"engine and eruptions"

Cincinnati jazz-tronic post rock trio Flocks release the perspicaciously dreamy Luna. Flowing in like a knowing fog of sounds, the keys with a dominant prescient sort of sci-fi sound like a distorted Rhodes twisted and tweaked just so as a bass embraces the space. The drum work with dynamic fills and a chaotic yet precise beat serves as both an engine and eruptions of emotions. Love the ethereal flow here. The ebbs and flows and pauses on the precipice are lovely. 

Flock is Josh Jessen (synths / keyboards), Tom Buckley (drums / samples) and Stephen Patota (bass/ guitar).

THE FACTS AS WE KNOW THEM - PRESS NOTES:

Driven by a fascination with the possibilities of human interpretation of electronic sounds, FLOCKS strives to create music that guides the listener through a variety of sonic landscapes. Having meticulously crafted their musical voice within the studio, FLOCKS is now committed to recreating this experience live through the interaction of analog synths, electric bass, and acoustic drums replicating synthetic textures. Samples and the human voice also play a significant role in FLOCKS’ approach to songwriting.

Members Tom Buckley (drums/samples), Josh Jessen (synths/keyboards), and Stephen Patota (bass/guitar) came together to form FLOCKS in the vibrant music scene of Cincinnati, Ohio. Collectively, they have performed/recorded across the world with such artists as Hi-Tek, Mark Mothersbaugh (Devo), Naytronix, Huntertones, Fareed Haque, and members of WHY? and Deerhoof.
