| Like a poet using rich and flourishing metaphor to describe or a painter finding vivid colours to illustrate emotional turmoil and humanity�s latent inhumanity, it has been the quest of musicians such as Crystal Thomas to take the darkest recesses of human behaviour and transform them into pristine musical form. Crystal Thomas� lyrics, at once honest and mysterious, draw the listener into her sometimes sinister, always melodic, tales of suffering, hope, desire, deception and other tricks kept up beauty's sleeve. She creates brooding, haunting musical landscapes, brilliantly realized by her seriously impressive band. Crystal Thomas & The Flowers Of Evil have spent the last year in Matt Walker�s studio - the 8 Track Shack - recording their debut album, with Matt at the helm as mentor and producer. |
