Description
Flowtone stands proudly by the idea that much like our world, music should remain borderless. With the fearless adoption of progressive styles, this Soulful Rock band works with Chicago string players to create music that combines two worlds.
Work Sample
Fool That I Am by Flowtone, released in 2017. The video represents the group as it was back then. The group currently consists of the original singer, bassist, and drummer from the video. All other performers are hired for specific events.
Hold by Flowtone released in 2020. It consists of string orchestration written by former member and violinist. Flowtone will occasionally hire Chicago string players for larger performances. The lyric video was also created by the lead singer (Nissim Torres).
What You Want by Flowtone released in 2020. The music video was shot by the band in different parts of Chicago using just a smart phone.
The samples I’ve submitted represents some of Flowtone’s earlier work and demonstrates what the full band sounds like in a live setting. It also shows the foundation of the band’s sentimental tonality in which we aim to combine deep lyrics with familiar driving choruses found in the alt rock genre.
History
The current lineup originated in 2015 and has played over 50 shows in Chicago, the surrounding suburbs, and a few venues in Indiana and Wisconsin. The lead singer, Nissim Torres, graduated from Columbia College in 2017 with a music degree and a focus on guitar and voice. Flowtone is currently producing their debut album with Chris Coulter, the producer of UK band, Arcane Roots.
Artistic Vision
Flowtone is a Soulful Rock group from Chicago that makes use of guitar and bass effects, and extrapolates on their vision using layers of string instruments. They take after bands like Arctic Monkeys, Alabama Shakes, and Muse, intertwining soulful vocal melodies with contemporary and experimental rock tones. In the writing of their next anticipated album, they’re collaborating with Arcane Roots producer, Chris Coulter, to add synth instrumentation and polished production.
