Spite Machine by Flower Crown Me A Queen

I started writing these songs about a year and a half ago, hoping to make a full length studio album with a full electric band. That really didn't pan out, and as the lineup kept changing and other parts of my life were in constant turmoil, I almost gave up on this project. I even got super sad one night and posted that Flower Crown was dead.

But it's not. It is alive, and it no longer feels like I am beating a dead horse or trying to keep something going that just wants so hard to stop existing. I took this summer to travel, and write, and play, and enjoy Flower Crown Me A Queen again. And I think that really shows on this album.

I took my favorite songs from that full length I wanted to record, and put them together with a number of newer songs that I wrote this summer. What I have now are 15 songs of growth, of loss, of hope, of love, and of complete and utter spite. I'm here to fucking stay whether you like it or not, and I really do hope you like it.

This is my first full album playing completely solo, no collaboration between friends, no roommates playing with lighters, no hardcore gang vocals, or weird trash drums, or even a washboard. It's just me and my guitar. And I think that's what Flower Crown Me A Queen is supposed to be. This is just me.

Free to download, as always. Please share with your friends, your parents, your pastor, your booking agent, that one kid on the street that always says that school is for suckers, and anyone who you think would enjoy this. I want to add to the amount of enjoyment that people feel in the world. Thank you for listening. Fuck cops, fuck terfs, and fuck the fascists <3

Hi we're a couple of queerdos that write songs that are punk and folk and everywhere in between. Fuzzed out violins, fast paced guitars, singing our hearts out. Learning to wield hope like a baseball bat <3
