i am now through the eye of the needle
Elusive songsmith flakebelly defies genre norms, fusing psychedelic indie rock and acoustic folk-jazz. His sound is an intricate blend of folk-inspired acoustic warmth, blues-drenched guitar riffs, and ambient, psychedelic textures. Layered with jazz-infused piano melodies and indie rock nuances, his music forms a rich, genre-blurring tapestry that immerses the listener in an experimental and evocative journey. With 'In Parks Of Tall Trees' recently playing on Tom Robinson's BBC 6 Music 'Introducing Mixtape', flakebelly's distinctive songwriting is beginning to build ripples from an avalanche of pebbles. Learning guitar in the early 2000's, his musical journey led to an indie-folk EP in 2022, 'Behaviours,' and 'Lo Fidelity' in 2024. In 2024 flakebelly also released 'Apprentice Green', a genre-hopping album of psychedelia, folk, funk, dream-pop, jazz and indie, 20 years in the making. flakebelly records & produces alone in his home studio, embodying a creative evolution that is always transitory.
