Your silence is my favorite song. With a mix of scathing guitar dissonance and melodic intensity, Kansas City trio Flooding unveiled object 1, a bold, four-track EP that merges their noise rock roots with pop-forward songwriting. Led by vocalist and guitarist Rose Brown, the new project finds the band pushing beyond the haunting slowcore of Silhouette Machine and into a realm of emotionally volatile yet strangely confident expression. The release plays like a tug-of-war between desire and detachment, wrapped in unrelenting percussion through a haze of sonic tension. Their tension lies in their vulnerability, with Brown saying:
It's fun and kind of ironic to write incredibly dissonant songs within the framework of pop music. Thinking about music like we're pop stars and considering how it might feel to perform the songs on stage has moved our sound forward in a more energetic, impactful direction.
That shift is immediately felt in tracks like your silence is my favorite song, which unspools a tale of narcissism over eerily sparse guitar lines. Meanwhile, depictions of the female body delivers a haunting portrayal of lust, illness, and longing, carried by aching vocals and a bed of blaring feedback. With acclaim from Rolling Stone, Treble Zine, and The Alternative, the band continues to evolve their sound with each release. Connect with Flooding as they trade in whispers for melodies, distortion for catharsis, and indie grit for a commanding live presence on TWITTER, SPOTIFY, BANDCAMP, and INSTAGRAM.
