Formed in 2004 by Eva Petersen and Mat Gregory in Liverpool and later joined by Miles Kane, Greg Mighall and Joe Edwards, indie band The Little Flames had something quite special in terms of sound. Creating a melting pot of dark pop, rock, 60s garage and more, the band dropped three singles within a three year period, as well as toured with The Arctic Monkeys, with their debut album scheduled to get released in 2007. However, like all good things that eventually come to an end, The Little Flames split-up and the album was then locked away in the chambers, never getting released at all.

With the re-launching of the Deltasonic label and the re-issue series, The Little Flames debut album The Day Is Not Today will finally see the light of day. Landing April 3rd, the team at Deltasonics have shared the title track of the forthcoming LP. The steamy cut is a sweltering blend of cinematic blues rock at it’s finest.

In a press statement, The Little Flames co-founder Mat Gregory wrote:

“We did the first sessions for ‘The Day is Not Today’ with Central Nervous System AKA Joe Fearon in Liverpool, and then completed it with Tore Johansson in Malmö, Sweden, which made sense of some of the wildness and brought out the atmosphere that we were looking for. For me it was very natural that we would make an album with a lot of atmosphere. The Little Flames’ music always had an inherent darkness about it, but here we wanted to build on that with a different kind of drama, something a little more cinematic and a little less impetuous. The band has it’s own history and it’s own story, but a few years down the line it seems right that this album can exist now – I think that it deserves that as a body of work. Alan (Wills) played a huge role not only in developing the band, but in seeing the potential in what Eva and I were doing right from the start and supporting us. He always liked the record, saw the worth in it and helped to shape it in the way that only he could. It feels good that it should be released now and that we have the opportunity to dedicate it both to him and to Ann, who has worked incredibly hard to make this happen.”
