(instrumental) My Darling, The Glass Was Always Half Empty by Flurries Flurries : (instrumental) My Darling, The Glass Was Always Half Empty.
 A fresh, textured fusion of classic meets modern art rock.

I started tracking rough, instrumental demos for this album in 2005. I tracked casually for two years with producer Stephan Hawkes, as I searched for a singer. As two years became three, I realized this album would never see the light of day if I didn't do it myself. After another several months of vocal coaching and writing the melodies and lyrics, I tracked the vocals myself. Four years, five studios, six amps and three drum sets later... it was done.

In my opinion, the writing is ambitious and borrows from my classic rock influences, as well as 80's new wave pop. This fusion of classic rock meets modern, created a sound that could go alongside The Killers or Franz Ferdinand. Still, no one I know has been able to give me an accurate sound alike comparison, which I suppose, is good. The result is an album sounding unique and modern, but yet familiar and classic at the same time.
