This is episode 6 of the new “rex Festive 15 series”. The plot is to identify for you 15 newish outfits that have my serious attention and interest. The previous entries have been:

1. BDRMM
2. JUST MUSTARD
3. SQUID
4. BLACK COUNTRY, NEW ROAD
5. FONTAINES D.C.

The order of selection will be random. I am not ranking these artists other than as a select group.

Today – WHITE FLOWERS

THE DATA
FROM- Preston, UK 🇬🇧
SINCE- 2019 (recording)
GENRE- Dreampop/ shoegaze
LPS – 1. Day By Day (2021)
RIYL- COCTEAU TWINS
SLOWDIVE
PORTISHEAD

I selected this DUO for the rex Festive 15 series as I have a massive soft-spot for dreampop.

I featured their song ‘’White Drive’ back at song 106!

Comprised of JOEY COBB and KATIE DREW. The duo recently returned to Preston after spending time in London.

[Ed. Note- Rex was excited to recently see that are touring the UK this Fall in support of another rex Festive 15 selection, JUST MUSTARD. Would that he could get to one of those shows.]

Today we feature ‘Within A Dream’ – the title track of their 2031 EP.
