Promising debut from The Winter Flood.
This is the debut single from The Winter Flood. It’s a haunting piece which shows a lot of promise.
This is a side project by Oliver Michael. Michael graduated from BIMM in 2017 and had spent years previous composing music for films. The Winter Flood was born as a way to develop ideas Michael was having that wouldn’t be used for work on film.
They are currently working on a debut EP which is hoped will be released in early 2019. It’s a dark indie pop sound with echoes of The XX and London Grammar. There is even a hint of Thom Yorke here which is always a good thing. With heavy synths and pop beats mixed with dark tones, ‘Fire It Up’ is a thunderous hello to the Irish scene.
