Information: First, let's meet back up with the Molochs-you remember them, right? Their America's
Velvet Glory was the earliest burst of light and energy to hit in 2017, an album of electrified
rock 'n' roll like Dylan and Lou Reed by a band named after the Ginsberg-ian glutton god
who demanded the sacrifice of all things good and pure. But now it's 2018 and Moloch
himself is fatter and happier than ever, so the Molochs couldn't just make another record.
After Glory showed the world who they were, they needed to make an album that showed
what they could do. So Flowers In The Spring is where the Molochs worked harder, thought
harder and fought harder to be the kind of band that the times demand: "I like to think the
world just needs some good solid songs out there," founder Lucas Fitzsimons says. "It's
simple. It's not easy # but it's simple."
America's Velvet Glory, their first-ever record for L.A.'s Innovative Leisure label, had sparked
their first-ever U.S and European tours, first-ever festival sets, first-ever international press
and more. (Top music mag Mojo even said they'd made one of the year's best albums-"Any
year!") Follow-up Flowers bloomed almost exactly a year later at Long Beach's Jazzcats
studio between December of 2017 and January of 2018, where Fitzsimons and longtime
band member Ryan Foster had recorded Glory. By the time they'd returned, they had a slate
of songs that had come to Fitzsimons in flash moments, written on nerve-wracking
transcontinental flights or on isolated nights in an L.A. apartment, captured at once in bursts
of insight or rescued from almost-abandonment in discarded notebooks.
As on Glory, inspiration from Syd Barrett, Dylan, Nikki Sudden and kindred spirit Peter Perrett
of the Only Ones was at work, but the Molochs are endlessly (appropriately?) ravenous when
it comes to things to read and listen to and learn from. On Flowers they'd refine and
recombine their sound, working in that long tradition of poets who cover (or discover)
themselves in pop songs. "To Kick In A Lover's Door" blows Flowers open with the wit and
precision of the Go-Betweens, and "I Wanna Say To You" draws more from some of
Creation Records' dreamiest dreamers than it does from any esoteric 60s howlers. "Flowers
In The Spring" and "Pages Of Your Journal" could be two lost Kinks singles from two
different Kinks eras-that Ray Davies-ian venom stays the same, of course-and the
charming/disarming "Too Lost In Love" makes feeling down sound like cheering up, just like
the Clean did.
Yes, they do have their first-ever string section here, and that could confuse some people.
("People go, 'Wow, it sounds more mature.'" says Fitzsimons. "What kind of boring shit is
that?") But Flowers isn't a grown-up album or a show-off album or a break-up album or a
just-had-to-make-another-album album because the Molochs don't pick targets that tiny.
Love and disgrace and life and death blur and bleed into each other, but at the core of
Flowers is a story about standing against the inhuman by being more human, however
messily honest that needs to be. (Or like Fitzsimons sings at the end of the record: beware
that "determination by a whole / to destroy the human soul." Funny how that comes in a
song where he claims he can't explain everything that happens to him, because he sort of
just did.) So consider their new Flowers In The Spring a meticulously plotted counterattack
against all things Moloch-ian, with clear, concise, immediate, undeniable, simple, direct pop
songs, says Fitzsimons, each sharpened enough to cut through anything it touched. That's
what he needed to do, he says, because that's what felt most true. Maybe it really was that
simple, even if it wasn't easy. Like he'd explain in a song with just seven words: "There's
something I wanna say to you."
