The track is from their immersive new live EP Medea In Blue
Armed with a distinctive and forward-thinking sound that encompasses genres like grunge, shoegaze, folk and funk, Edinburgh alt-rock five-piece Flame are an outfit who have put together a sound that has a real sense of authenticity and character to it, something that shines through on their new live EP Medea In Blue, a collection of tracks recorded live in a rehearsal studio.
A track that encapsulates this appeal is the sprawling ‘Tornado’, a free-flowing and immersive sonic journey that ebbs and flows as it moves through its duration in a way that feels fluid and decidedly human. The live setting gives the track a real feeling of honesty and makes it feel all the more resonating, with the vocals in particular feeling authentic and real, packing a gritty and raspy edge while also having moments of tenderness. The existential nature of their themes and their novel approach to their sound makes for captivating and atmospheric listens that consume you as a listener, and this track and the EP as a whole are a great example of everything that they do so well.
