Avery Friedman – Flowers Fell
Mit ‚Flowers Fell‘ stellt die Singer Songwriterin Avery Friedman den Titelsong ihres kommenden Debütalbums vor. Fans von Julia Shapiro oder Adrianne Lenker werden hier große Ohren bekommen. Musikalische Unterstützung bekommt Avery von James Chrisman (Sister.) und Felix Walworth (Florist / Told Slant), die mit ihr das komplette Debütalbum eingespielt haben.
“The opening melody for “Flowers Fell” came to me on a headphone-less walk home one night down Greene Avenue in Brooklyn. I had noticed that the flowers that once lined the branches had been replaced by leaves — seemingly in the blink of an eye. I was briefly disappointed until I considered that the petals had made way for something more sustainable – and equally full of life. The song became a meditation on the concept of place – how things of our surroundings like ‘sidewalks,’ and ‘balconies’ and ‘trees,’ can act as fixed backdrops upon which we measure our personal evolutions (and the evolutions of our relationships) across the span of many seasons.” – Avery Friedman
