Flatwaves is a Philadelphia-based 4-piece garagegaze band on Abandon Everything Records, playing an atmospheric swirl of contemporary psychedelia and retro shoegaze. Their sound is haunting and dreamy with reverb-drenched guitars, heavy back beats, and cavernous vocals. This is music that aims for disorientation, skirting the collective unconscious, in the heat of a desert motel room. Perhaps it was said best by one show-goer:
“Thank God I wasn’t on acid for that set.”
