In this episode, Weadee sits down with Tomato Flower to talk about the everchanging architecture of their songwriting — from the politics of form, to learning which walls to break down. We trace the emotional undercurrents of songs like Radical, and Destroyer, and reflect on the tensions between brevity and maximalism. Along the way: we play their 2024 record No from top to bottom.
Tomato Flower is a four-piece experimental rock band based in Baltimore, Maryland, whose music find a way to blend fractured rhythms and strong melodic instincts. No as an album sees Tomato Flower walking a tightrope of sound between chaos and clarity. Thank you to the band for joining us! Be sure to catch them live when you can :)
