Strawflower - Haunting of the Hollywood Hills
About...
Strawflower are a surf rock and psychedelic pop band based in Los Angeles. ‘Haunting of the Hollywood Hills’ is inspired by classic LA noirs Mulholland Drive, Sunset Boulevard and The Big Lebowski
Lyrics...
“Haunting of the Hollywood Hills is about being at the spookiest house party of all time. When you’ve had too much to drink or taken the wrong thing, everything seems sinister and out of control”
Production...
The track is full of character and drive, talking about the recording the band said “We recorded it (along with the rest of the album) in Michael Rault’s home studio in Landers, CA near Joshua Tree in 110-degree heat. Musically, some of our references were artists like Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Grateful Dead, and Sonic Youth”
Summary...
The bands upcoming LP ‘Greetings from the Stardust Motel’ draws from more of these sonic influences pulling inspiration from county, indie and the California dream world of lonely drifters, empty beaches and haunted hills
