Franky Flowers - “Sneakers (Sneaky Thing)” Video

The L.A. band Franky Flowers make big, surging, melodic lo-fi indie-rock. The band’s frontman, also named Franky Flowers, is 17, which means he wasn’t even born when this stuff was originally being made, but he seems to have a handle on it anyway. Their single “Sneakers (Sneaky Thing)” has some of the same big-guitar buzz as prime Built To Spill, and that is a very good thing. The tracks’ video is all buzzing, distorted VHS imagery of the band at play, and you can watch.
