DD Island: “Flowers”
Fade into a neo 60s pop lollipop of a pop tune. Sure, DD Island has dipped our highlighted track “Flowers” into a few buckets of blood to give it a garage’d out grime. The bones of the song, though, are visible through all the superficial texture shuffling, and those bones could’ve been the house band for Laugh In somewhere in 1969. Catch this band live and you’ll hear all sorts of genres, from folk, to country, to rock. But the powers of “Flowers” is all pop. Off the EP Hungry.
