Melodic rock has few better proponents than Seattle's Flowmotion. As fine as their past work and exemplary live shows have been, the group's forthcoming studio effort, Ghost Pepper (arriving March 17), showcases a band ready for much wider discovery. With a sound humming on a similar wavelength to Wilco and ALO - i.e. indestructibly solid songwriting paired with sharp, tough musicianship and inviting vocals - Flowmotion's latest gives classic rock moves a pleasant polish and personal curve.
The band is streaming the album for free right now. Pop over here to sample the perfect pop of “A Thousand Little Things," the pleasantly Phish-y feel of the title cut, the believable hope of “Future's Falling On The Sun," the just plain good rockin' like “Home" and the wistful sway of “Please Don't Forget." Ghost Pepper is a real album in the old fashioned sense, where the full effect of it isn't truly felt without taking the whole ride. Flowmotion has kindly offered up their new work with this free preview, so that ride is currently on the house.
For more on Flowmotion, check out JamBase's rave for the band's annual Summer Meltdown Festival last year. This year's installment takes place August 6-8 outside Seattle. More details and updates on Summer Meltdown can be found here.
