For their new record 'Future Shine,' flor went back to their roots. 'We pretended we were writing songs in our garage again.' Read our conversation ⬇️
“I said to myself, ‘I want this album to be one of the only albums I listen to this year,'” Grace says with an ear-to-ear smile. “I want to feel that good and that confident about what we’ve done.”
For much of the LP’s creation, the guys sat together in Bauld’s studio and thought about what they wanted to say on the new album. Their first two records —— were songs they made “in the moment,” says Bauld. This time, they wanted to think things through. The LP opens with “the most left-field Flor opening ever,” says Grace. The track is lyrically bleak, but holds a synthy backbone that builds up to a happy moment. “We absolutely jar everyone with this first song, which is about how we can’t figure out how to be decent human beings and how to take care of our planet,” Grace says. “I don’t really get much of a glimpse of hope.”
When that song began, they had a melody going but no actual lyrics for the song. “We were joking,” Bauld says. “We honestly scrapped the song and moved on, but then I went back and was like, ‘All right, that was kind of catchy. Let me see what it is.’ ” Bauld brought the song back to Grace, who was not impressed with the bassist’s idea at first: “Oh no, Dylan actually wants to do this,” Grace remembers telling his bandmates. “And then I listened to it, and I was like, ‘Oh shit.
Since their early days, the group has remained united — even if a big hit hasn’t arrived just yet. “This band has always been slow and steady growth,” Kitts says. He points to Portugal. The Man as an example of the kind of career path they aspire to: “It took them a really long time, and they eventually wrote what they needed to write.”
