Биография

Pittsburgh haze pop ensemble Flower Crown began in 2015 as a collaborative effort between Richie Colosimo and Aaron Mook. Reverb-heavy and esoteric, the duo’s first EP Hypnausea (2016) was a sort-of lo-fi love letter to a genre that diverged heavily from the pair’s roots in post-rock, folk and hardcore styles. The follow-up album Glow (Flowerpot Records, 2017) was a more cohesive and focused reimagining of the initial EP’s washed-out and hypnotic tones. Trapped in the foothills of Appalachia, Flower Crown became an act of escapism that landed squarely between ironic and heartfelt. Flower Crown transitioned to a full-band effort in 2018, adding Mike Iverson, Chris Sexauer (Flex.Auer) and Jon Sampson to the roster. After the release of the band’s second LP, Sundries (Crafted Sounds, 2019) Zach Bronder (Bat Zuppel, Good Sport, The Gotobeds) filled in for Aaron Mook.
