Review: Adrift by Florist

As far as band names, Florist can seem odd since it sounds more occupational than anything. But in the greater sense of it all,  who gives a shit if the music is good.

Adrift opens with the track 432Hz. A heavy instrumental intro song bringing in some noise and semi middle-eastern sounds. Another Moon flows right along. Both songs have the backbone composed of some fuzzy bass. The vocals are a little set back, and it works well.

Out of Space follows with a tinge of boogie thrown. The verses are almost a barrage of lyrics thrown at you. The guitar solos attack is the same. The chorus “we’re out of space” makes me think of the lack of storage in my own house. Grow slows down the tempo a hair. More fuzzy bass as the backstop to the verses. Also, an opposite approach on the lyrics is more steady and spread out. The song slows down into the bridge area and then is pumped back up as it heads into the last verse. The couple of minutes of Grow bring in some noise and swirling sounds.

Adrift (Part A) just pounces right in at the end of Grow. Almost just a continuation. Adrift (Part B) shifts the tempo down. Added in are some voice or sound samples and swirling sounds as the song flexes between loud and heavy and quiet and minimal.

It’s worth checking out for you stoner rock fans.
