Flowers [LP] Vinyl Record

Soulive shares their brand new album Flowers-the pioneering modern organ trio's first full-length album in 15 years. For more than twenty-five years, the Woodstock, New York-formed trio Soulive have carried the flame of the Hammond-organ format for a new generation. Guitarist Eric Krasno, organist Neal Evans, and drummer-producer Alan Evans built their language on feel and economy - three voices locked in, sweat and telepathy with no wasted motion. Soulive never broke up; they just went quiet. Krasno turned to songwriting and production. Neal to arranging and texture. Alan to engineering and sound. "There's so much more that goes into a recording than the gear," Alan says. "It's about the environment - your place in space and time at that moment." That reconnection took form on Flowers. Tracked at Flóki Studios - a century-old former grocery store on Iceland's north coast - the sessions pulled the trio out of routine and back into focus. Alan had worked there before withMonoNeon and Oteil Burbridge, drawn to the light and the solitude.
