Brown\u2019s voice floats through buzzing guitars like a ghost with a grudge, whispering lines like&nbsp;<em>\u201cyour bleeding heart, my lucky charm\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;before everything explodes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flooding doesn\u2019t fit into a box\u2014they bend the corners until it breaks. Formed in 2021, the trio (Rose Brown, bassist Cole Billings, drummer Zach Cunningham) have been sculpting their own sound from pieces of slowcore, post-hardcore, noise rock, and something heavier that doesn\u2019t quite have a name yet. Their debut&nbsp;\u2018Silhouette Machine\u2019&nbsp;(2023) was a stunner, landing on&nbsp;<em>Rolling Stone\u2019s<\/em>&nbsp;Best of the Year list and drawing comparisons to Codeine, Slint, and True Widow\u2014but honestly, Flooding just sounds like Flooding. And now with&nbsp;<em>object 1<\/em>, they\u2019re pulling in tighter, thinking like pop stars but staying gloriously raw and jagged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expect more melodic vocals, bigger hooks, and yes, still the kind of sonic meltdowns that leave you reeling. This is music that lets the softness and the chaos sit in the same room, holding hands and howling at the ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flooding just wrapped a national run with Cryogeyser and have more tour dates on the way. Until then, let <em>depictions of the female body<\/em> melt in your ears. It\u2019s not just a song\u2014it\u2019s a sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4944.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1022\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4944-1024x1022.png?resize=1024%2C1022&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-43235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4944.png?resize=1024%2C1022&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4944.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4944.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4944.png?resize=768%2C767&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_4944.png?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018object 1\u2019 track list<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>your silence is my favorite song<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>complete detail<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>depictions of the female body<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>object 1<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/n6thwjcab.cc.rs6.net\/tn.jsp?f=001hVTzKsx2J7SqrU5sbDHezjIhRM6SDfiN8-enwl4KnzFeyFuzVCoq1FmUxduDmBkQPvZSggYKI6sY4LgvuDbEgJzNwkv6_l8vB1iTZswfYtBwnz9xQn5_Kh_FTWlyrA1buDuW3UNRLp9KGgHQcNaoYqjmjgOEJUiemXeRLOVbOCbIXW-XLv3AgRqrJCBJSdq0aTxF27aAOrnZR0AgDVeGvF62yBzfnuSCDnZrEtYM4iyH-AOnVXyrO7dVu4rQ5XBTxnlY_taNSltv3qf8Me_KZVdtyuw5QrRtPZlUNJaEGKwPpyOAKDrxTpI6cUHV9aV0f1-i643w6NsisxyJy3Fgng==&amp;c=knK4wxDuLetTwMRKuereb7DK8YycpH1yrwZtq1eihGpQxp6ffb1TGw==&amp;ch=8qM0s04s5CdKjpzAzhYQ0llOFVi7Npf1B7-pxXVZ2z5zoR1959bsVQ==\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PRE-ORDER<\/a><strong>\u00a0\u2018OBJECT 1<\/strong>\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow the band on Instagram&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/floodingks\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">@floodingks<\/a>&nbsp;for updates on shows and releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>About Flooding:<\/strong><br>Flooding is a Kansas-based trio that builds emotional landscapes out of feedback, restraint, and moments of pure catharsis.
