FLOODING Unveil New EP

OBJECT 1 - LISTEN

Four Crushing Songs Embrace Pop Meladies And Scathing Guitar Work

SUPPORTING SLOW CRUSH AND TEETHE ON TOUR ACROSS THE U.S. THIS FALL

Best Music of 2023 - Silhouette Machine by Flooding

- ROLLING STONE

“Catnip for fans of slowcore legends Codeine or Texan stone-gazers True Widow."

- BANDCAMP DAILY

"Slint-like tumble of arpeggios escalating into a caustic eruption of searing noise rock. It pounds, screeches and pummels." 

- TREBLE ZINE

"Breathtakingly expansive and unsettlingly intimate."

- THE ALTERNATIVE

Kansas City’s Flooding, the trio fronted by Rose Brown, is excited to share their new EP, object 1, available everywhere now. Lyrics across today’s release tackle desire, sexuality, carelessness and the push and pull of a passionate relationship with pop confidence. The group goes into untouched territory, where most of their peers don't dare go, while soundtracked by cacophonous guitars and runs of powerful drums.

“object 1 is full of the most melody-forward, pop-structured songs we've ever created,” Brown explains. “It's fun and kind of ironic to write incredibly dissonant songs within the framework of pop music. Thinking about music like we're pop stars and considering how it might feel to perform the songs on stage has moved our sound forward in a more energetic, impactful direction that I don't see done much in the genres we explore.”

LISTEN TO OBJECT 1

object 1 was heralded by “your silence is my favorite song” in May, which explored the fragility of a self-involved male manipulator, with buzzing guitars and haunting vocal delivery from Brown. “Your bleeding heart, my lucky charm,” is casually sung over building but sparse instrumentation as the song head towards a breaking point. “depictions of the female body,” arrived last month, delving into the hope of desire over sirens of feedback and driving drums. Caught in between a state of lust and hopelessness, vocalist Rose Brown sings, “i'm sick and i know it / but it's hard letting go of it / i tried to forget her.”

LISTEN TO “YOUR SILENCE IS MY FAVORITE SONG”

Flooding formed in 2021, quickly releasing their eponymous debut album, featuring fan-favorite songs “Insure Me, Procure Me” and “Delayed Gratification.” Ranging from whispers and airy guitar riffs to intense lyricism and distorted blasts of noise, the record cemented Flooding’s place as a band to have on your radar. Their 2023 record Silouette Machine followed, earning praise from Rolling Stone, Treble Zine, New Noise Magazine and more for its heavy but soothing and otherworldly sound, bringing in pummeling drums and guitars just when the listener gets comfortable. With object 1, Flooding infuses pop-forward songwriting into their sound, trading spoken word for melodies and thinking like pop stars when cultivating the energy of their live show. 

Flooding kicked off 2025 with a national tour supporting LA band Cryogeyser. This fall, they’ll open for post-metal band Slow Crush and Texas slowcore band Teethe. For more information on upcoming shows, follow Flooding on Instagram at @floodingks and see below.

ABOUT FLOODING:

Flooding is a gut feeling. Fronted by guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Rose Brown, Flooding is a 3-piece band that explores genres like slowcore, noise rock, post-hardcore, and post-punk. Brown is supported by bassist Cole Billings and drummer Zach Cunningham, who share the songwriting goal of curating abstract elements of different music styles to create a distinct composition with each album and song, rather than fitting into a particular genre. Flooding is interested in what music can allow us to feel and things it can force us to confront. Softness and harshness coexist in everything, and there’s freedom in allowing ourselves to be both at the same time.
