Chris Brecht and dead flowers are making music like a manic, joyride from Austin to L.A. that bleeds through the day into moonlight. Behind the unconventional songwriting talents of Chris Brecht, this band has a mysterious approach to alt.country music. The brand new and currently unreleased record, Dead Flower Motel will likely classify dead flowers in the company of My Morning Jacket, Wilco on a reverb pill, or even some reminiscence of the Doors-style L.A. country. Combining jagged guitars from Scott Davis (Hayes Carll, Trishas), revolutionary pedal steel from Ricky Ray Jackson (The Happen Ins, Phosphorescent), Space Echo keys and B3 Organ from Matt Mollica (Deadman), and chic L.A. style rhythm section of Falcon Valdez and John Michael Dayspring (the Happen Ins), Chris Brecht and Dead Flowers are incarnation. Dead Flower Motel is a record created by independent musicians. “We wanted to create something new,” says Chris Brecht. “Something that has never been heard before.” Songs like Hollywood, Witch’s Curse, Streetlights in design are poetry with a sonic landscape. Wish You features a classic riff with reversed guitars and mosaic delay pedals. Not Where You Are is an attack on artistic cultural complacency. Devil is a brash burn out. Dead Flower Motel is more like Radiohead’s the Bends than it is like Ryan Adams and the Cardinals. The record was recorded in Austin, Texas in late 2009 on 2” tape at Premium Recording Studio and engineered by Andrew Hernandez (Soma Studios, Chicago, IL).
