Description
Fleshwater – “We’re Not Here To Be Loved” CD
The nine song full-length debut by this Massachusetts band that bring a wide range of styles together – alternative, shoegaze, electronic, post-hardcore, and off-kilter pop. A balance of intimate male-female harmonies with an overpowering wash of loud, hazy distortion. Self-produced, with the recording help Kurt Ballou of Converge. “The band mine a kaleidoscope of influences, ranging from Hum, Deftones, Sunny Day Real Estate, and Far to Björk.”… Ultimately arriving at an ethereal style that sits alongside Cloakroom and Nothing in the shoegaze stakes, albeit with a harder kick and a heavier thump; plus melodies that would comfortably place them next to Anxious and Koyo.
