Recorded in Paris by Fabrice Laureau (Yann Tiersen, Shannon Wright, The Married Monk, Dirty Three…) and arranged by Julien Gasc (piano, drums, bass), Flowers finds Pacôme Genty at his most accomplished. Across ten finely crafted songs, psychedelia, pop and English-language poetry intertwine through layers of sound and texture, as if each track were being painted stroke by stroke, giving depth, movement and dimension to the music.
Sensitive, strange and deeply melodic, the songs unfold with a playful sense of freedom: feverish rhythms on Moving House, irresistible refrains on Flowers and White, alongside subtle Brazilian influences. Genty works by instinct and accumulation, allowing his songs to breathe, drift and suddenly catch fire.
Following his time with Erevan Tusk and Rrose Tacet, as well as collaborations with Armand Méliès and Don Nino, the French singer-songwriter delivers his third solo album with Flowers: a record that is both immediate and enigmatic, intimate yet richly textured. A quietly captivating album that gets under your skin — and stays there, leaving a lasting impression on both mind and senses.
