Skullflower is still active and making an unholy racket in various corners of the earth, but please note, I am not Skullflower. This is a straight-up fan page. I have never crossed paths with Mr. Bower, or anyone else even remotely connected to Skullflower. I greatly enjoy the music, particularly the older blown-out and dusted rock of releases like "Last Shot At Heaven" and "Infinityland", but that's it. Sorry.
For an excellent Skullflower biography, see the semi-official website. Some older releases are still somewhat available - try aQUarius recOrds for a few, and CDBaby for the last remaining copies of the aforementioned and monumental "Last Shot At Heaven". Some more recent material (and a reissue of the speaker-melting tweaked masterpiece "IIIrd Gatekeeper") can be found through Crucial Blast. The most current stuff seems to be mainly limited CD-Rs and specialty label releases. (aQuarius might be able to hook you up.)
So enjoy the sounds, and share the overpowering vibes - blissed out yet manic, expansive while still managing to be intensely claustrophobic. Skullflower is that, and so much more.
