The Best Indie Songs of 2015 - Flor


Get Behind This (Jan’15) is a synth driven indie dance tune that starts out a mite melancholy over the ashes of a fire. But by chorus time its hands in the air, let’s get retarded, happy good times and that transition is gold. Sure as shit you’ll find your head nodding and toes tapping of their own volition. This bauble is as infectious as chlamydia’s dick and that’s enough to make it one of the best indie songs of 2015.



 
 
An ephemeral track with the nutritional value of cotton candy, yet it captures the zeitgeist of West coast indie synth pop; uplifting, joyful, all drum machine, synths and girly man vocals. While some may rail against the pussy nature of this tune and dimes to dollars no one out there is carving ‘Flor4real’ into their arm with a knife after the life changing experience of hearing this indie dance pop tune, that doesn’t mean this is anything less than top shelf indie.

“I guess I never thought,
anything good could come from the dead and gone”
 


 

Get Behind This is the third track off Flor’s first short player Sounds (Feb’15). The band sing out of Los Angeles by way of Hood River, Oregon and got started in 2014.


Shit you need to know:
 
Flor are currently touring with Young Rising Sons.

People have made comparisons to Passion Pit and Two Door Cinema.

Broods, Smallpools and Oh Wonder all have songs they love.
 
Heart and Back Again are the other Flor songs that don’t suck hairy balls even if they do.

 


Well seeing as you’ve been warmed up goes to one of the greatest Canadian indie rock bands of all time Sloan and this fucking great rocker Unkind (2011). Bit of a manly palate cleanser.
