Florence Besch

Florence Besch is making a musical development in leaps and bounds. In her second album “Gathering Hearts,” she sublimates her ability to transform fragile honesty directly from the depths of her heart into raw power. Thus, a turbulent, dreamy sea of guitars with her typically strong, genuine lyrics washes over you.
In a unique blend of 90s shoegaze and indie rock, peppered with many tender pop moments, Besch shapes her very own genre - Dream Grunge. She draws inspiration from legends like PJ Harvey, Courtney Love's band “Hole,” and Nirvana.
Her sensitive, soft voice floats vulnerably at times, while at other times it asserts itself defiantly over threatening, exciting soundscapes. In between, there are warm clearings with driving, bright riffs, shifting rhythms, and drums that sometimes sound like juicy heartbeats and at other times transition into cool punk.
In her clever, sensitive lyrics, she addresses love, loneliness, and time as fixed stars to which she returns thematically. The album opens with “Nightsong” and atmospheric guitar sounds: “You’re only free when you’re lonely.” Left behind, like the stars in the sky.
In “Hibernation,” Besch runs after all trains, in this “Hyper Nation” where it always seems one is too late, she would prefer to freeze time. The bass and drums are adorned with sparkling disruptive sounds. Is this what the heart sounds like when it goes into hibernation?
“No Compromise” is a Fuck You to those who want to use you. Once again it goes straight to the face in “Words of Elegance.” The money-hungry ignorance that sprouts in many minds is doomed to fail. “Tick-Tock.” Time is running. How much longer will it continue like this? The last song “Cracks” leads through an expansive, dreamy sound landscape. Besch creates the warm world she desires, but as she builds, she runs out of bricks. She patches up the cracks. An ode to the freedom to shape life itself.

With “Gathering Hearts,” Florence Besch creates a self-sufficient symbiosis of brave fragility and punky defiance. A personal album on point that clearly demands its place in the musical landscape.
