Tomato Flower’s “Blue”, the second preview off their second EP of the year, Construction, builds itself up in dividends just like Austyn Wohlers requests in its opening moments. Synthesizing itself together from a minimalist guitar framework and vocal building blocks in staircase form, the ambient window overseeing the view very much feels like the moment where freedom from capitalism is within sight, placing into perspective the Baltimore band’s balancing act between intentional art and the profit motive.

Tomato Flower’s Construction will be released August 5th on Ramp Local.
