Exclusive EP for Northern Star from The Flower Machine, a preview of their forthcoming album Marmoset Meadow. Led by Dutch/American singer, composer and guitarist Peter Quinnell, The Flower Machine were first heard on their 2004 debut album Chalk Dust Dream of the Tea Cozy Mitten Company which set the template for their pastoral, revisionist brand of psychedelic indiepop. Distribution deals in Australia (2005) and Thailand (2006) helped expand the bands notoriety, in addition to radio play on taste-making stations such as WFMU in New Jersey, KXLU in Los Angeles, and KZSC in Santa Cruz. The Flower Machine is based in Los Angeles, California, and has appeared at many clubs in the area with live performances that add experimental dimensions to the experience of hearing them on record, incorporating synthesizers, echo boxes and free-form jamming that extend the songs beyond their 3-minute confines. Flower Machine recordings typically are made at a remote cottage 30 minutes outside of Los Angeles, where the band primarily utilize vintage amps and gear, mellotron strings and flutes, backwards tapes, and layers of sound effects.
