US Progressive Rock band From Flowers to Flies published the video for the track “Not The Way You Want” recorded live on KMPH Fox26 Great Day and taken from debut album “We Built This Machine” out on January 19, 2024. Watch the video through the YouTube player below:
From Flowers to Flies‘ debut album, “We Built This Machine,” explores the overstimulating and dissatisfying constructs of modern life and the different ways we all attempt to navigate through them. Sonically, the band flits between different moods and soundscapes ranging from pummeling Art-Punk (Powerlines) to groovy Indie Rock (Glide) to slow-burning Post-Rock instrumentals (We Are What We Pretend To Be and Vamp Until Cue… Then Fade) and even a synth-led power ballad (Epilogue). The album was recorded in June and July of 2023 between studios in Fresno, CA and Austin, TX.
