Flood Of Red - Leaving Everything Behind

Flood of Red’s debut album sets the scene perfectly...

Rating: 8‘The Edge of the World (Prelude)’, the stunning opening track to Scottish rockers, Flood of Red’s debut album sets the scene perfectly. Its ambience and hazy atmospherics literally drip from the speakers as the song builds slowly, only permeated by singer, Jordan Spiers’, tender and acutely Scottish-inflected vocals. Even before the more raucous second track ‘The Harmony’ kicks in this song has gifted the record an airtight atmosphere that envelopes its entire span. In blending such galactic atmospherics with hook-laden emo rock, Flood of Red have created a progressive, wildly ambitious but massively successful musical mix.

For fans of: Saosin, Brand New, Sigur Ros
