Exploding Flowers

***Los Angeles quartet Exploding Flowers return with Alphabet Window, their fourth and most accomplished album to date. Across twelve beautifully crafted songs, the band expands its signature blend of jangly guitars, soaring harmonies and richly layered arrangements, creating a record that feels both timeless and strikingly fresh.

Drawing inspiration from melodic guitar-pop traditions without ever sounding nostalgic, Alphabet Window effortlessly balances immediacy and sophistication. Piano, organ, synthesizers, vibraphone and shimmering guitars enrich the band's warm, hook-driven songwriting, resulting in an album that reveals new details with every listen.

Already praised by Bandcamp Daily as "a colorful and kind-spirited amalgamation... full of jangling guitars, handclaps and sparkling melodies," Exploding Flowers continue to establish themselves as one of the most exciting contemporary guitar-pop bands.
