Philadelphia trio Corey Flood are gearing up for the release of their debut album, Hanging Garden, out through Fire Talk Records on September 4th, 2020. The latest single off it, Down The Hill, a guitar-driven cut which sways airily between jangly dreampop and quirky lo-fi rock, appears totally up to par with the previously unveiled new tracks Heaven Or and Honey.
Taking a step back from the nerviness that epitomizes some of their previous work, Down The Hill is about cherishing simplicity, and the beauty of life's most uncomplicated experiences.
Vocalist Em Boltz describes the new single: "The Hanging Gardens of Babylon are one of the Seven Wonders of the World. I have a good friend who’s a life-long pen pal. I have a specific memory of one summer when we swam in the lake by their house. I wanted to encapsulate that moment I had and when I was sitting on their bed. The room had beautiful windows and the way the sunlight was shining through felt totally ethereal."
Hanging Garden follows the band’s acclaimed 2018 EP, Wish You Hadn’t. Corey Flood are Ivy Gray-Klein (bass, vocals), Em Boltz (guitar, vocals) and Juliette Rando (drums, vocals).
