Heaven Or 02:37
spinning my worries, mend the gap obsolete feelings, never go back I don’t know what I thought I’d find you said it’s a victimless crime I know what I saw though I am often incomplete I always land on my feet did you even check the lock before you walked on out I know what I saw

in the afternoon I fall into your bed talking too much like the light I came down the hill climbed up on my hands I came down the hill there is no shame in humility hanging garden, 19th century maybe it is really nothing but I was in love I came down the hill climbed up on my hands I came down the hill

Hive Mind 01:33
back to the hive mind bludgeoned me with her gruff voice when an earthquake’s happening he’s just beginning to get dizzy I waited then got spooked walking home replayed it in my head backwards enjoyed the reversal more

Honey 02:11
when I’m so bored into my white overcoat it could be so simple my paltry feelings steeped in honey what is it? a flood I pour so much of myself into you you say the words you think you ought to say try to pretend it didn’t feel that way what is it? a flood

Park Deli 7 02:28
bands of light cross my room at night drinking my own poison again I’m making gains sometimes we make bad decisions just because we can

Crush 02:45
yes I would love to spend hours cursing plateaus I don’t know in between some days in heat it’s an honorable mention you should know

Slow Bleeder 01:29
black ice on the road we go so slow no does ahead I’ve always been a slow bleeder takes time but I’ll be there I’ll be your ghost, won’t leave a trace just a feeling you can’t erase I’ve always been a slow bleeder takes time but I’ll be there
8.
they bury their dead above ground let them cremate in the sun a year and a day generations in a cave mull it over in your sleep forget promises you keep keep swimming against the tide living below the sea this basin will flood and it won’t leave mull it over in your sleep forget promises you keep
9.
Poppies 02:05
poppies on the sill and on your side split at the root wager a lie you can’t see it in your own darkness texture of memory if I change will i lose her you can’t see it in your own darkness

about

There’s a vague sense of unease that permeates Corey Flood’s debut full-length, Hanging Garden, out September 4th via Fire Talk. From the surface, the record appears to break through the dark fog of the band’s 2018 EP, Wish You Hadn’t, but just below lay themes of ambivalence, uncertainty, and anxiety, layered elegantly in fuzz. Recorded in Philadelphia by Jackie Milestone, mixed by Natasha Jacobs, and mastered by Sarah Register, Hanging Garden pushes through feelings of discomfort and repressed emotions to discover what truly lies beneath.

Born in Philly circa 2017, Corey Flood began as the post-grad bedroom project of bassist Ivy Gray-Klein (formerly of Littler) and drummer Juliette Rando. A month after their first show with guitarist Em Boltz, the band signed with New York’s Fire Talk Records and turned four planned demos into a full-fledged, delightfully menacing debut EP. Now, after two years of intense growth and collaboration, the trio continues their “whirlwind trajectory” with the long-awaited, nine-track LP, Hanging Garden.

Inspired by Throwing Muses, Helium, Pale Saints, and Brix Smith-Start’s work with the Fall, Gray-Klein calls Hanging Garden “a reckoning with internal discord.” Through soft melodies, lush guitars and churning rhythms, the dual vocals of Gray-Klein and Boltz recall relatable experiences with gaslighting, imposter syndrome, and repetitive thoughts. Hanging Garden feels intimate and familiar but is strewn with playful surprises, like 70s krautrock guitar work and samba-influenced drum parts. Hanging Garden is a mature stride forward, and a bewitching amble towards the unknown.
