THE FLOWER KINGS – guarda il video di “Black Swan”

Con la sua epica durata di 92 minuti il nuovo album “Islands” offre tutti quei tratti distintivi sonori e melodici che han reso famosa la band nel corso degli anni, tastiere vintage, assoli splendidi, contorte linee di batteria ed elementi sinfonici.

Roine Stolt comments:
“’Black Swan’ was a little piano melody I wrote around spring 2019 – I thought of it as ‘Polish melancholic’ or a ballet piano piece. I did present a demo for the Transatlantic sessions but when it didn’t stick there I brought it along to the TFK ‘Islands’ session. Here it found its way in to the album and concept and with a slightly more dry guitar-driven sound and with nods to both The Beatles & Queen it became one of my favourite tracks. Hasse delivers some of his finest vocal on the album here.”
