Album Notes

".....The Blueflowers is what happens when a girl obsessively listens to Roy Orbison and Patsy Cline and her bandmates can quote every line from Blue Velvet." -DetourMag.com



The Blueflowers were created in January 2009 out of the ashes of Detroit's premier shoegaze/dreampop outfit, Ether Aura, who were formed by Detroit music scene veteran Tony Hamera and vocalist Kate Hinote. The Blueflowers play a cinematic blend of alt-country, americana and indie pop - highlighted by vocalist Kate Hinote's emotional and somber delivery. Guitarist Tony Hamera's ambient tapestry recalls memories of David Lynch's dark visions and the Spaghetti Western soundtracks of Ennio Morricone. Drummer Marvin Shaouni and bassist Erica Stephens hold down the rhythms while David Johnson adds texture on the acoustic guitar. This release was produced and engineered by guitarist Hamera, and adheres to the spirit of true 'independent' music.
