Flooding’s object 1, released last month, is a sharp, compact EP that distils the band’s knack for contrast into four tightly constructed noise rock songs.
Across its 17 minutes, delicate, ethereal vocals are set against bursts of drone-heavy intensity, mixing the fragility of slowcore with the bite of loud, antagonistic post-hardcore sound.
The mini-album feels like walking alone down a dark street at midnight, with every shadow alive with threat, yet the quiet wraps you in a strange warmth. Fear lingers at the edges, but you find yourself savouring it, as if the darkness has claimed you and made you feel at home.
