Album Focus: Sacred Flower Union

Answered by: Dan Griffin

Album title? Afternoon Reflectors

Where did the title of your new album come from? Lazy afternoons when everything around is just chill.

How many releases do you have now? Eight on the web on various blogs, all pretty lo-fi , I’m yet to record a ‘real’ album....

How long did it take to write/record? No idea! Three to four months? All my releases are kind of stream-of-consciousness a la Mark McGuire/sun Araw, so in a way I don’t really have albums, more editions of ideas I’m playing with.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? Camp Doogs/exploring different styles and melting them together. Trying new things.

What’s your favourite song on it? Heavy Blissers Vol 2

Will you do anything differently next time? Next two releases are worlds apart. One is a beats mixtape and the other is really ambient and textural... I record using my phone so maybe I’ll try real recording afterwards?

When and where is your launch/next gig? Next is RTR Ambient Zone 20th birthday party, 21 Sep, The Bird, and then some cool shows but they’re not announced yet so I gotta keep it on the down low till then ;)
