Accessing the surreal nature of modern life, the past two years in particular, Moonflower acts as an artistic and softly thoughtful reaction to turmoil.

As a quirky and catchy single for the summertime – UFO more than meets the mark. A lovable alternative to much of the current mainstream.
The final third delves into passionate uncertainty, the voice peaking, the guitar wandering into distortion & bends, the bass notes storming through with far more urgency.
Fantastic song-writing, firstly – an unusually mellow hook with an addictive descending progression to it, resolving in a fresh way from the upfront clarity and ache of the verses. This one has the chemistry just right.
Depicting the tale of a lonely man calling upon an elusive lady of the night, STOP!! delves fearlessly into its concept and creates a smooth groove and catchy hook in the process.
The topic is writer’s block in the world of the artist – the pressure to perform and continue to create, even during times when you’re face to face with the wall of impossibility.
Creatively explorative in sound-design yet comfortingly familiar in vocal clarity and melodic progression – Katie Tich’s Boomerang (Remix) introduces her uniquely colourful way with song-writing.
Great melodies and beautiful lyrics meet with quickly likable musicianship – ambiances that beg for a live show, or for you to turn up your headphones and complete escape as the world speeds by outside.
The title says it all, the verses just reinforce its relevance to all of us – Life Is Now. What a beautifully connected time in all of our lives to reconsider this very fact.
Stunning vocals from Dorsten make for a beautiful addition to the raw and gritty style and sound of an unmistakable 3mind Blight. Superb production finishes the process off faultlessly.
Perhaps now more than ever is a great time to reconsider and recount our blessings.
“I write about a lot of emotional distress, struggles with depression, anxiety, tough subjects in general. But it really helps to take these dark subjects and sing about them in a way that’s humorous—sometimes sardonic would be a better word.”
