"FIRETOWER is soulful, seductive, defiant, and original." (DOA) "The group’s sexy, dark (yet party-starting) anthems have mutated and gotten stronger with every release...The evolution of their sound is far from over and crossover success may be imminent. 'Firetower' is classic, dramatic Pop, laced with sweeping string sounds, Hip Hop-ready rhythms and a melody that could have been stolen from Chrissie Hynde’s notebook, while 'The Cradle, the Brothel, & the Bible School' also sung by Gabriella Zappia, is a sensual, propulsive, sure-fire hit in waiting.” (CITYBEAT) "Orgasm-inducing" (VICE)
"Their unique mix of post-punk techniques, gothic aesthetics, new romantic flavours, and pretty much any other style of music they've ever gobbled up in their collective subconscious, is their ace in the hole...a thoroughly enticing lot." (ALTERNATIVE ULSTER UK) "The Flesh has produced a distinct sound, both beautifully soulful, funky, and a bit creepy." (CNN) "The Flesh have concocted a radical new religion...Dark, crazed, and desperate, this one simply can't be missed." (HYBRID MAGAZINE) "A fearless quartet...a new world order in music that dares its competitors to keep up with the times." (BLOGCRITICS) "The Flesh would have fit perfectly within NYCs late-70s/early-80s CBGB scene where all those new wavedipped acts really spread their wings to get past the skinny-tie zeitgeist of the time. The Flesh keep the keyboards and poppy beats upfront, but fade the edges to black with dark and sexy rock." (VILLAGE VOICE) "Part karaoke-ready, part darkwave operatic--big and bold and splashy." (XLR8R)
that and the skateboarder getting the joint are the 2 golden moments in the video. my editor saw it with me like 50x and also honed in on that little purse lips moment and she goes "that's so faggy."
also patrick's favorite part is when the camera does a zoom snap off his Peter Tosh shirt
