Flor (band)


Flor is an American indie band formed in Oregon, United States in 2014. The band currently consists of lead vocalist Zach Grace, guitarist McKinley Kitts, bassist Dylan Bauld and drummer Kyle Hill.

History

The band got its start in Hood River, Oregon, when Grace began experimenting with electronic music-making programs to create ear-catching synth sounds. Williams built tracks around these snippets, turning them into songs that updated the sound of the '80s for the 21st century. After moving to Los Angeles, Flor connected with photographer/designer Jade Ehlers, who helped the band come up with distinctive visuals;. meanwhile, Bauld established himself as a producer working with Flor, as well as artists like Halsey, Lights, Smallpools and Lostboycrow. The band released its debut single, 'heart' online in 2014, with the Sounds EP arriving that October. Following the release of the 2015 full-length Sights & Sounds, Flor signed to Fueled by Ramen in 2016, which reissued the Sounds EP that February.
Flor’s debut album come out. you’re hiding was released on May 19, 2017. The album title was teased in a tweet on March 23 before it being confirmed in another tweet the next day. The album’s lead single 'guarded' was released the same day. Following this, the band released the official tracklist through two tweets.
On March 8, 2019, flor released the new single 'slow motion'. On July 10 they announced their second studio album, 'ley lines'. It was released on September 6, 2019 and includes 12 songs. When asked about the inspiration behind the album, lead singer Grace said "There’s a theory that important places of power like Stonehenge or the Pyramids of Giza are connected by invisible lines. As a parallel, I needed to find my own anchor points for belief and purpose. I realized you can build those roads yourself. Friends, family, and the band are my anchors. The music comes out of the ‘ley lines‘".
On November 11, 2019 flor announced their first North American tour.
