Toronto-London based experimental group, The\\xa0 Flowers of Hell, founded by Greg Jarvis release their latest album called "Keshakhtaran" via Space Age Recordings. "The Flowers of Hell" is rooted in an old blues idea about how music transforms the misery and toil of musicians into the joy of listeners, as well as Baudelaire's poetry book called, "Les Fleurs Du Mal."

"Keshakhtaran," meaning "seeking nirvana through meditation to sound, especially when you're stoned," is suitably named. The album presents a 42-minute instrumental psilocybin meditation piece in two parts, rooted in sax, flugel horn, chimes, harp,sitar and opera soprano vocals, augmented with tremolos, flutters, horns, woodwinds, strings and percussion. The album was mastered by Grammy recipient Peter J. Moore (Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Joe Strummer).\\xa0

For the past 18 years, The Flowers Of Hell have traversed the experimental edges of indie, classical and jazz, with music often rooted in the audio-visual synesthesia of Jarvis. Despite relative obscurity, they have been championed by music legends such as Lou Reed, Sonic Boom, Kevin Shields and members of The Legendary Pink Dots, Death In Vegas, The Wedding Present, The Fugs and The Plastic People Of The Universe, not to mention support from NASA's Mission Control team and the Tate Gallery.\\xa0

THE FLOWERS OF HELL also released their deluxe first vinyl pressing of Lou Reed-endorsed "Odes" album for Record Store Day UK. "Odes," pays tribute to The Joy Division, Bob Dylan, Fleetwood Mac, Stereolab, Laurie Anderson, The Velvet Underground, Siouxsie & the Banshees and Neutral Milk Hotel, among others.\\xa0
