Flasher dévoile son nouveau single “I’m Better” & son clip
1st June 2022
Flasher, le duo composé du guitariste Taylor Mulitz et de la batteuse Emma Baker, dévoile un nouveau single, “I’m Better,” extrait de Love Is Yours, son nouvel album conduit par un sentiment de liberté à paraître le 17 juin via Domino. Alors que le premier single “Sideways” évoque la sensation d'immobilité lors d'un trajet longue distance et que “Love Is Yours” parle des hauts et des bas d'une longue relation, "I'm Better" est plus explicite et plus ludique. Le titre se délecte du trash-talk sans culpabilité, des énergies "bye-bitch !" et du bonheur de sentir une relation toxique s'éloigner dans le rétroviseur. La vidéo est réalisée avec des séquences en Super 8 prises par le groupe.
Le groupe explique : "'I'm Better' parle de quitter une relation toxique et de trouver la joie, la liberté et l'assurance après coup. Nous avons filmé la vidéo dans le centre de l'Oregon lors d'une brève échappée du confinement durant la pandémie en 2021. Les images capturent le sentiment expansif qui vient avec l'exploration d'un nouveau lieu."
Flasher Love Is Yours
Album | 17th June 2022
The band’s 2018 debut, Constant Image, was a triumph – a set of songs both dizzy and explosive, balancing new-wave lushness and post-punk frenzy. Love is Yours steps up the ambition and reaches for the horizon. The record is ablaze with mood, melody, and carefully threaded hooks, finding the band foregrounding the pop sensibilities that had always been present in their previous releases. The album was written and recorded amid a moment of flux for the band. Now a duo, guitarist Taylor Mulitz and drummer Emma Baker had to reimagine Flasher’s voice. When it was first completed, Mulitz was shy about sharing the album, worrying that old friends would find the new sounds unrecognizable. Love is Yours is unquestionably made up of Flasher’s DNA, but it’s true that something pivotal has shifted. If Constant Image found the band tightening up and transcending its basement-punk roots, Love is Yours marks another, major moment of ascent, this time toward something that’s easy to embrace, but harder to pin down – still thrilling, but newly illuminated and entirely their own.
