"'Sounds Like…' is a blissed out mess that showcases Medosch’s step forward as a songwriter, but with zero loss of energy" 8/10 @undertheradar.bsky.social on the new LP from Florry, out this Friday on @dearliferecs.bsky.social! www.undertheradarmag.com/reviews/soun...
Sounds Like…
Someone forgot to tell the house band it was last call and lights out a few hours ago. And thankfully so. Each song on Florry’s latest, Sounds Like…, plays out bleary eyed and bled through.

Incredible review of Florry's upcoming new LP over at @aquariumdrunkard.com 🖤 (thanks @jenpkelly.bsky.social!) @dearliferecs.bsky.social
aquariumdrunkard.com Aquarium Drunkard @aquariumdrunkard.com · May 8
Florry makes a tipsy, utterly fetching variety of country rock, the notes wobbling all over but fizzing with unstoppable electric energy. The band spins out songs like a country joyride, rattling, banging, jolting hard on the ruts, but full of unfussed beauty.

"Irresistible slacker anthem from Philly’s Florry. “First it was a movie, then it was a book” explores a landscape similar to Kurt Vile & MJ Lenderman, with a hint of free-spirited Southern groove and endless late-night, country-rock jam spirit." @dearliferecs.bsky.social tidal.com/magazine/art...
