In October 2020, Progressive Rockers The Flower Kings released their new double album “Islands” on InsideOut Music, just a year after the group’s much celebrated “Waiting For Miracles.” The band have launched a brand new video for the track “Black Swan,” and you can watch it below:
Roine Stolt comments: “’Black Swan’ was a little piano melody I wrote around spring 2019 – I thought of it as ‘Polish melancholic’ or a ballet piano piece. I did present a demo for the Transatlantic sessions but when it didn’t stick there I brought it along to the TFK ‘Islands’ session. Here it found its way in to the album and concept and with a slightly more dry guitar-driven sound and with nods to both The Beatles & Queen it became one of my favourite tracks. Hasse delivers some of his finest vocal on the album here.”
