The Flashpot Moments “Very Far”

The haunting, introspective guitar riff is the opening melody that introduces us to Very Far. There’s an instant knowing from the very beginning that this album by The Flashpot Moments is meant to be something different — roof-lifting, stadium-filling different.
The Flashpot Moments give away a solid, unforgettable performance that always makes you question if you’re actually listening to a studio album or witnessing an actual live show. The soaring vocal elevates the air as the fiery, distorted guitar shoves its melodic twists against the eardrum. The energy is unmistakenly lit and the vibe is contagious.
“Jealous,” the dark banger grows on introspection, while “Itch” has the flashing guitar that completely alters your perception. “Trust U” makes a statement while subtly shifting the energy in the room. Moving from three massive bangers, the fourth track “Fun is Hard” shakes up the ground with something entirely different.
The jumpy track is deeper in its nostalgia with the blend of piano into the sonic, which is further explored in the ballad right after — “Don’t Know it Yet” explores a confessional moment filled with feelings, wrapped up in those straight lines on the piano.
“Lat Den Rullia” again bounces back into its restless, cathartic nature. There’s something raw yet maturely orchestrated on Very Far. There are always the little details between transitions or tucked beneath the obvious that fascinates you each time you listen, while the album itself has a flow that is worth exploring.
