Death and Vanilla return with Flicker, presenting their unique pop music that defies categorisation. Housed in a beautifully austere post-ironic de-constructed sleeve; Flicker is a modern reflection on these difficult times. World crises notwithstanding, they return reborn, re-arranged and revitalised after assimilating dub reggae, the motorik spirals of Can, the modal meander of Philip Glass and The Cure’s dreamier pop sounds; plus the twice removed symphonic ambience of Spiritualized and Talking Heads under heavy manners from Brian Eno. By osmosis their period of transition since 2019’s much darker Are You A Dreamer? has hatched new eclectic electronica anthems riddled with melody lines, and layered for lush love.
