How about a seven piece from Brighton playing jazz post rock with a hint of experimental punk?
Well that’s today’s latest selection on Breaking More Waves.
Welcome to the world of Flip Top Head, who describe
themselves as orchestral cult rock.
Their debut shape shifting song Seventh Bell Number was released back in February and has hints of Black Country New Road insofar as you’re never quite sure what it’s going to do next. Unpredictability can often be a mess, but in this case it works. The mix of beefy trombone, guitars and the wonderfully named Bowie Bartlett’s haunting vocal that sings of giving back his eyes mix well together.
Yet this is only their first song, so who knows what comes next? The
internet can provide clues of course, with live footage on YouTube showing that their other songs also feature the male vocals of the equally
brilliantly named Bertie Beer.
Sitting far outside the mainstream, Flip Top Head certainly
won’t be winning over lots of Ed Sheeran fans. But for those who like their
music a bit more out there, they might just be your new favourite band.
