A Love Letter to Phavor’s New Single, “Petals”
Written by Lana Leonard
At the root, “Petals” insists a musical tenacity for comfort in universally shared human experiences. It is often we all stumble through life, swimming our limbs through flower fields towards lovers and those we love. Just as often, those same flower fields dry in death of a lush season and those lovers recede out of our worlds. Perhaps you hold on. Perhaps you come undone. Perhaps you never look back. Whatever you do in bouts of indubitable change, is something held in the hands of near all. And it is exactly the remembrance of that universal human experience that makes the newest release of Phavors so pure.
In the lyrics, “So they say love can stain like flowers stain an open field, watch them sprout, pull them out, death never looked so real,” lives a solace in knowing people are not alone in feeling the stains of love; the grieving of when it’s dissipating. On its own, “Petals” is a flower growing out of the bark of the vulnerability tree Phavors themselves have rooted for their fanbase.
Phavors, made up of both Kayla DeRosa and Phil Marflak, is a dream-pop duo out of Central New Jersey. Marflak writes the music, the lyrics as well as produces the music himself. The most reflective of Phavor’s influences of Bon Iver and Sigur Ros lives in “Petal’s” emotional energy stemming from the lyrical and sonic build at the midway point before it releases in finality. Engaging both the words of sound and the sounds of words (in particularly sung by DeRosa while sometimes in harmony with Marflak) evokes a rumbling that both tilt the hat at Justin Vernon and Jónsi Birgisson.
The two talents are very clear of their values and uphold them in justice to themselves and others. In the duo’s about page, they share an essay that compels their mission: “The lyrics in [Phavor’s] music wishes to lead by example: being totally honest about ourselves and our feelings, admitting things that we try to suppress, and pursuing a lifestyle that allows growth and healing to take place.”
DeRosa and Marflak grows rich from the soil of the heart while setting up an environment that runs on vulnerability and the truest ambiguity of the lives we live in. To pull feeling, trauma, and honesty from an artist that then turns it into music is what manifests the esoteric trues of art. When we are consumed in a world of distractive entertainment that says, let us numb more, let us forget, that truth can seem a rarity.
Thank you Phavors for insisting to dig deep and feel everything, to encourage feeling in order to move onwards and forwards. Your team work in developing “Petals” amid the entirety of Phavor’s heart is beautiful. With this, I look forward to the future of your music.
Listen to “Petals” on Spotify and follow Phavors on Instagram and Facebook !!!

If my dash is any indication, Phil's recent decision to start habitually reblogging phanart on Tumblr is going to cause an exponentially expanding explosion of art which may drown us poor fic writers.
There's always been an imbalance between the popularity of phanart and phanfic—which is natural, since you can appreciate the best art in 20 seconds but it takes a lot longer to appreciate a fic—but now that imbalance just seems to be snowballing. Art art everywhere. I love it, the art is beautiful, but ... it's sort of taking over. I love @vivianadichiara! I love @creamphilled! I love all you phanartists! But my fic gets even more buried than usual now.
Stay strong, fic writers! We may not be Phil's chosen ones, but ... um ... some people still love us. Some people still appreciate us! Some people will still see our posts! Phil's appreciation for phanart won't bury us!
I'm pretty sure.
Or ... well ... I guess we'll always have AO3.

I’ve got a new artist for you to follow! Phavors, a dream pop/indie folk duo from New Jersey, released their first single “Petals” earlier this year (Petals Day = February 26). But wait, back up. Dream pop/indie folk??? Yup, that’s right...a dream come true in my book! It’s not always easy to reconcile synthetic, ambient sounds with authentic, acoustic instruments. But that’s what makes Phavors one to watch.
Part of a greater EP, “Petals” is the perfect song to introduce us to Phavors’ unique craft. Most of the song offers a nearly constant crescendo, which emotionally fills me with a lot of hope and happiness. But the interesting thing about “Petals” is that its lyrics hold many different emotions. Not-so-happy ones, really. The lyrics of this song personify heartbreak, regret, mistakes… The petals talked about in this song can mean different things to different people. Thanks to Kayla, the singer on this track, – her voice is so gorgeous and pure – it’s really easy to hone in on the message of this song. Each time I listen, I think about the healing that needs to take place in my life. I think about the things that I need to admit and let go of – all while I sit in this safe space that “Petals” has provided me. In fact, that is the very mission of Phavors:
“to create a comforting, soothing environment that allows the listener to let go…”
I’m honestly not sure how else to tell you that this song is simply beautiful. The calming music – paired with its challenging lyrics – does something that I haven’t seen a song do in a long time. This song exposed me, yet celebrated me. It’s hard to find both in one place.
Moral of the story, Phavors has something special going on here. Give this song a listen and check out their whole EP! Visit phavorsmusic.com and follow @phavorsmusic on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to learn more and stay updated on their exciting news!

blueBrown releases debut single “Kingdom Go,” like Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, and Math Rock had a baby
A world traveller following his dreams, Matthew C. Brown originally from the band, Homeless Apians, of Jackson, New Jersey, arises in Australia as blueBrown. A solo project budding on the road with the debut release of blueBrown’s single “Kingdom Go.”
Pearl Jam influences ring in the track’s vocals oriented before entering a head banging chorus. Engineered and mixed by lead guitarist of Phavors, Phil Marflak, I am reminded of the passion that constructed this single. Hitting the chorus heavy, all sense of potential softness grinds into a taste of Layne Staley influence. The lyrics, “I can’t wait for you” seem to beg to an uncertainty hanging in the narrator’s sky.
“"Kingdom Go" is from the perspective of someone in a relationship with a partner whose personal growth is quickly exceeding their own,” said Blue Brown in an email.
The narrator in this instance, describes blueBrown, is frustrated with their inability to grow as quickly although their partner is growing faster by slowing down.
“The ambiguous chorus, “I can't wait for you,” leaves the audience to decide if it's a cry of desire or of resentment, further revealing the confusion and frustration the narrator is experiencing,” continues the artist.
Not only will blueBrown’s vocals move the listener from sonically led focus to head banding, but the guitar layering hums musical talent to a new plane of musical complexity. If you enjoy math rock from Frank Zappa to Chon you will melt at the guitar skills of blueBrown.
Upon listening, the motion of sound, swaying seamlessly from acoustic to electric immerses the listener further into the pulse of the single.
“It sounds like an acoustic over an electric because that’s almost what it is! The main electric track is the baritone using the electric pickups, but the bridge I installed on the guitar also has a piezo pickup that I can switch on if I want to imitate the sound of an acoustic,” said Blue Brown.
In fact, blueBrown built the guitar he is performing on. The baritone electric guitar was built from a butchers block, while the rest from used or recycled guitars.
“The neck was a gift from a friend after I married him and his partner,” said blueBrown.
blueBrown is on a vulnerable route, creating and writing at his most transparent. The artist is away from his band Homeless Apians as he travels. The band has played throughout the City of Asbury Park for years.
However, the solo project of blueBrown is a musical expedition for the solo artist and his continued to travel. Most recently, the brown haired blue eyed musician for which his name derives (with influence from the very peculiar Kengo Hioki of the band Peelander-Z) has been road tripping around Australia for the last nine months.
“The two colors were already built into who I am,” said the artist of sky and earth.
blueBrown will be releasing new singles in the near future as well as videos that can already be found for “Kingdom Go.”
“[outSides] is blueBrown's video series of live multi-tracked performances recorded and filmed in National Parks and other beautiful landscapes across Australia,” says the musicians YouTube page. The “Kingdom Go,” video features blueBrown in Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park in South Australia on June 17th. A true visual display of the musicians talents.
blueBrown’s single “Kingdom Go” can be found on SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Spotify, and listeners can find the lyric video and blueBrown’s video series, outSides on YouTube! For even more on blueBrown find the solo artist on Instagram @bluebrownofficial, Facebook and his website.

Watch Fleet Foxes Cover Phish And Return The Phavor
Earlier this week, Phish opened their Madison Square Garden show with a cover of Fleet Foxes’ “White Winter Hymnal.” So, it’s only natural that Fleet Foxes return the phavor. During their show last night in Portland, ME, Robin Pecknold sang a version of Phish’s “Bouncing Around The Room” before launching into “White Winter Hymnal.” Watch footage below brought to you by Relix.
