Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom

Description

Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom, the latest adventure from Meatbodies and their nearly lost album, started in 2017, is their most varied and accomplished work to date. It is a melodic rock epic full of hooks in which frontman and lead guitarist Chad Ubovich faces the trials of sobriety, redemption, and reinvention while literally learning to walk and play again. Flora Ocean Tiger Bloom explores themes of love and grief, escape, defeatism, hedonism, psychedelic drugs, and much more. It recalls the Blue Cheer-meets-Iggy Pop-psychedelic sound that permeated previous albums, but adds new elements of shoegaze, alternative, Britpop, drone, and touches of country. It is both an ode to the 80s Los Angeles punk scene and the rise of indie/alternative music in the UK. For fans of Blue Cheer, Iggy Pop, psychedelia, shoegaze, alternative, Britpop, drone, and country.
