Sound Of The Week: Flõstate

Canadian fantasy R&B duo, Flõstate, share a new single, ‘One More Day In Love’. Taken from the forthcoming debut album, Moments Of Feeling, ‘OMDIL’ is song is a synth-heavy, fluid and nostalgic piece centred on gaining clarity in solitude. On the inspiration for the track, Flostate had this to say: “Alone, with only your memories and regrets, vivid in the night. It can be painful when we finally gain clarity on something from within our memory. It lies plainly in front of us, what it could have meant for our present if we had known. It’s so visceral, it opens a door flooding in with fantasies; regrets that paralyse you, eyes wide open in the dark.” 

Themes on Moments Of Feeling include connection to others and self, romance, surrealism and etherealism, being in a flow state, as a muse spirit while navigating life experiences. Blending chill, washed-out, electronic, R&B, dream pop, psychedelic pop with meaningful lyrics, the collaborative album uses themes of escapism to, in fact, return to our natural state as humans in the universe, taking you through a dream before returning to reality.

Flõstate is a fantasy R&B duo from Canada. Consisting of producer MKSTN and songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Avery Florence, two worlds collide creating multi-instrumental soundscapes and virtuous vocals. Inspired by a wide variety of artists and genres, the duo site acts such as Beach House, Galimatias, Tame Impala, Jimi Hendrix, Lana Del Rey, Bon Iver, Enya, Jeff Buckley and Pink Floyd as key influences to their sound. Flõstate embodies a spell-casting, fantasy RnB sound which serves to represent the space in-between moments.
