Uneasy Flowers is the second album by Autistic Daughters, the intercontinental trio of Dean Roberts (guitar, vocals), Martin Brandlmayr (percussion, computer) and Werner Dafeldecker (guitar, bass). With Uneasy Flowers, Roberts traces the internal and external workings of one protagonist: or, rather, a protagonist who ‘contains multitudes,’ a figure that dissolves the unified self. 'Uneasy Flowers' poetic, stream-of-consciousness beauty is even more immediate and ambitious than Roberts, Dafeldecker, and Brandlmayr's previous work together: Their playing sounds more intimate and Roberts' voice and lyrics are more prominent, even though his guitar still often speaks louder than he does. A long time in coming, this new album continues the group’s development of their literate sonic architecture, touching on elements of jazz within the skeletal, open spaces of minimalist composition. Tracks: 1. Rehana's Theme 2. Uneasy Flower 3. Liquid and Starch 4. Gin over Sour Milk 5. Bird In the Curtain 6. Richest Woman in the World 7. Hotel Exeter Dining Room
