Once in a while something pops up with a fairly unique sound, that's what you get with Flip Top Head and their track Seventh Bell Number. Refreshingly original, it is hard to describe, you get something which manages to blend elements of goth, shoegaze and full-throttle brass into a magical sonic experience. The vocals are exquisitely performed, the instrumentation shapeshifts throughout. An interesting approach, in theory, it should sound terrible, but it works extremely well. The amusing ending caps a fine debut release.
Who are Flip Top Head? They are a seven piece from Brighton and ‘Seventh Bell Number’ is out on 14th February on Blitzcat Records.
