flipturn Find Coexistence Between Darkness And Light On Debut Album ‘Shadowglow’

Today, flipturn releases their long-awaited debut album Shadowglow via Dualtone Records. Having released singles from their first LP since March, driving their Spotify to over 60 million streams, while captivating the masses at most major festivals this summer, the anticipation for this project has been nothing shy of insatiable. A masterclass on the balance between darkness and light, the chemistry of the band is undeniable both recorded and live, and lead singer Dillon Basse boasts a vibrato that holds the fiercest form of tenderness within modern indie rock.

On the band’s debut, lead guitarist Tristan Duncan said, “Shadowglow captures that moment of time between the yearning of youth and the sobering weight of adulthood.”

Each of the 14 tracks on this record move in an elliptical orbit around the central idea that progress and backsliding exist side by side. Endless searching doesn’t necessarily get you to where you intended, but there is something to be found in every stage of the process. A listen to the album from front to back is like the inescapable pulling force of a blackhole, you know where you entered but can’t quite determine when and if you’ll ever get out. This is mirrored by how the album loops back into itself, perpetually sucking the listener further into the blackhole. Some blackholes form from the death of a star, but Shadowglow is a rebirth for flipturn.
