Flowvers have shared the beguiling music video for their anthemic single ‘Far Away’
The eerie visuals were filmed inside an old prison in their hometown of Portsmouth and have since been premiered on Clash Magazine. Elaborating on the experience, Flowvers say, “As despair looms, and anguish resonates, friend and director Alex Fountain guides us through the themes of our latest single ‘Far Away’. Henceforth finding the comfortable level of appropriacy that HM Kingston Prison holds. Resulting in a video depictive of the many dreary lives spent here.”
The track itself is a meteoric cut that oozes with the same frenetic energy once present during the 2012 B-Town indie scene, and is a mammoth number from the get-go with infectious riffs and primal percussion. Following on from it’s release earlier this year the song has seen support come in across the board with music blogs, radio and even Portsmouth FC and Soccer AM getting behind it.
Speaking about the track the band say, “‘Far Away’ was written over the last two years. The initial hook was what Stan used to play when warming up in rehearsals and it morphed into the intro and then it was plain sailing from there.”
Since it’s release the band have played a coveted spot at this year’s Isle of Wight Festival (This Feeling stage) and embarked on their first headline UK tour with a string of sold out shows.
Earlier this year the Portsmouth band appeared on Scruff Of The Neck TV on Twitch – as part of a mammoth weekender celebrating new bands from up and down the country – and released their Old Chapel Demos EP, which included key single ‘When It Comes To It’ being added to the X-POSURE List on Radio X.
Their growing hook-laden sound has seen them become regulars on BBC Introducing in the Solent as well as garnering support across the board on music blogs. They’ve amassed over 1.5 million streams with Spotify featuring the band on their New Music Friday and Hot New Bands playlists and Apple placing them on their New In Alternative playlist. Live they have played shows with the likes of Swim Deep, JAWS, Black Honey, Another Sky and Coach Party.
With plenty more of this in their locker, the feeling that this four-piece are onto something big is palpable.
