"It's that exact prospect that finds us downstairs at Cocomo on Old St for Flowers Of Sulphur. Rammed into the basement room they set about carving colossal improv instrumental works that draw together elements of Floyd, Kyuss and Chrome Hoof over a pulsing krautrock core. It's utterly mesmeric and an unexpected delight. Check it out." - Subba Culture, http://www.subba-cultcha.com/article_live.php?id=5643
FLOWERS OF SULPHUR is a Cosmic Rock Show Experience
comprising ABRAR HAFIZ on bass guitar, CHRIS ROTTER on guitar, MARTIN DEAN on drums and MATTY SKYLAB on synthesizers, lap steel guitar and sound effects, with Visuals by SALLY DUNBAR and GULLY. Their musical experience is as wide-ranging as their tastes - most audibly, Krautrock, Punk Rock, Space Rock, Experimental Electronic Music, and Film Soundtracks with voices, noise and sound effects thrown in with good measure. The projected images they use are a montage of found images and optical illusions with intensely coloured retinal effects. All of these combined produce an aural and visual experience that assaults the eyes and bleeds the ears ~ cosmic yet raw guitars, frequency~bending synthesisers, knee-dropping bass, propulsive drums, cut-up speech and layered sonics and noise have the audience hurtling through Space at the Speed of Sound. Kinetic, balletic, fluctuating and oscillating images send the viewer spinning into an elliptical, epileptic space ~ a sensual assault, oddly poignant, of sound, vibration, light and action.
