About White Flowers
Hailing from Preston, UK, White Flowers are the captivating dream-pop and shoegaze duo composed of Katie Drew and Joey Cobb. Since their emergence, they have carved out a distinctive niche with their evocative sound, characterised by Drew’s ethereal, often reverb-drenched vocals and Cobb’s intricate, shimmering guitar work, all underpinned by a hazy, atmospheric production. Their music conjures images of misty landscapes and introspective moments, drawing listeners into a world of profound sonic beauty.
Their debut album, “Daylight Land,” released to critical acclaim, showcased their talent for crafting deeply immersive tracks that blend shoegaze’s wall-of-sound aesthetic with the melodic sensibilities of dream-pop. Hits like “Night Drive” and “Portra” quickly became fan favourites, celebrated for their hypnotic rhythms and soaring vocal harmonies. The duo’s subsequent releases, including their sophomore effort “Inner Light,” have continued to push their artistic boundaries, demonstrating a consistent evolution while retaining their core identity.
Live, White Flowers are known for their ability to recreate their expansive studio sound with remarkable fidelity, often enhanced by subtle lighting and a palpable sense of intimacy. The current lineup remains the core duo of Drew and Cobb, ensuring their unique creative synergy is front and centre. Their performances are less about high-octane theatrics and more about creating an enveloping sonic experience that resonates long after the final note fades.
