Feel free to stream the full album before we announce the physical release. Hope you like and enjoy this.

Thanks.

YWNTS is now available at Bandcamp in digital download at here http://phloxism.bandcamp.com/album/ywnts-segmented-single

Thanks for your kind support  and with your support we will continue to make desire music.

However, I understand the folks out there who believe that Phlox deserve to be on PA, but sometimes we come across artists who are damn hard to pinpoint. Some times it takes time to find the right box. 

To my ears, Phlox are not psych/space. Effervescent synthesiser qualities much like you'd hear in Richard Barbieri's playing some 15 years ago doesn't necessarily space rock make. 

I will however be looking forward to the new album to see what's what, because I do hear some psychedelic tendencies emerging

Guys, the dope stuff is available in segmented tracks. Enjoy! 

Hi everyone, this is a sneak preview for the new long play. Thank you.

Phlox is Ahmad on drums, Hanafi on electric guitar, Syazwan on bass and Hakim on keyboards and vocal. The band met in 2008 at Kuala Lumpur. Hakim and Ahmad are brothers and they both quit university to form a band. They met Syazwan during a futsal match and few months later Syazwan introduced Hanafi who is Syazwan's room mate during their college time. The band first has been influenced by bands such as The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, Pink Floyd, Radiohead and Coldplay. Their first EP was released early 2009 with 5 songs andhelp of a female vocalist named Shehnaz who is friend's of Hakim. The band grew their influence deeply when they discovered a lot of progressive, psychedelic, krautrock and space rock bands such as Ash Ra Tempel, Genesis, David Bowie, Yes, Jefferson Airplane, Astra, Grails and more. Later, their first album "Quiver" has been released on December 2011. They have now pursuing to art rock and believe that this is the best way to express their music.

*Currently they are recording some new songs for new concept EP titled YWNTS. The single has been released early September 2012 called "The Unknown". 

 

I'll contact PF after work, and see if he can work it out.  Maybe just add Malaysia

Anyhow, for those who like to remain on the current page to sample music rather than opening a new tab in bandcamp, here is the full album tube that was posted by nescafe726 (a member of the band, I think) back in March of this year:

Definitely belongs here, as Frank has already intimated, and I think I agree with his remark regarding Psych/Space as the more appropriate sub too.

This is Phlox from Malaysia, not the band of the same name from Estonia who is already here.

While a case could be made for Crossover, because of some pop elements, I think Psych/Space is more appropriate.  Their sound seems very similar to More/Meddle/Obscured era Pink Floyd.  But I don't find them to me a Floyd clone by any means.  I find some of their guitar sound to remind me of The Cure, actually.

Anyway, it's very nice stuff, and I think very appropriate for PA.

You can listen to their full length release, Quiver, on their bandcamp page: http://phloxism.bandcamp.com/album/quiver. 

There are a couple of links there to a few reviews as well.
