ABOUT THE GEORGIA FLOOD

Releasing an album can be heartbreaking affair, especially when you have to choose a song to represent the entire work. Fortunately, “Whistle King” is an accurate representation of the dynamic, slick, and sometimes weird sounds that The Georgia Flood bring to their new album People Like Ourselves.

The Georgia Flood

With influences like Modest Mouse and Young the Giant, “Whistle King” reaches into the realm of driving, fun mayhem and delivers a tune you can’t help but whistle along with. Momentarily bizarre and reasonable structured, the song takes detours through quirky lyrics and strange sounds. For The Georgia Flood, writing music is a low pressure situation and “Whistle King” exemplifies their lively and idiosyncratic style.
