Flower (American band)

Flower is a

After recording the Crash EP with Kramer at Noise New York studios, Najita and Hale were replaced by Richard's brother Edward Baluyut (also later of Versus) on guitar and Andrew Bordwin on drums, and Richard began sharing lead vocal duties.

Their final album Hologram Sky was not released domestically in the US, and Ian James was briefly replaced by Fontaine Toups before the band dissolved in 1990. Following the renewed interest in the band generated by the success of Toups and the Baluyuts in Versus, high-profile indie label Simple Machines compiled all the band's recordings (except Crash) into Concrete Sky in 1994,^[2] and the group reunited for some promotional shows.

In 2019, the group reunited, recorded their first new album in 29 years (with Ernest Jenning Record Co.), and toured the west coast opening for Sebadoh.^[3]

In 2020, the group recorded None Is (But Once Was) (again with Ernest Jenning Record Co.), which was published on July 24.
