SNAKE FLOWER II : Turn Back Time 7"

Snake Flower II was founded by Matthew M. Melton who recently relocated to San Francisco from Memphis, TN. Memphis was his home where he had lived his entire life. He left Memphis to go on tour with the first arrangement of the group, Snake Flower (one), which included notable Los Angeles based conceptual performance artist Bunny Lampert, and Cole Weintraub (Kazalok,The Barbaras). When Snake Flower "I" fell apart apon the group's arrival in California, Melton reformed the project with Donnelle Malnik (Nervous Breakdowns) and Paula Frazer (Tarnation, Birdman Records) As a young musician, his projects in Memphis included The Break Ups, The River City Tan Lines, and The Bare Wires where he collaborated with Alicja Trout and Jack O Yarber. The recordings on SYA019 Turn Back Time ep were all written and recorded on a simple 4 track tape machine at an infamous bohemian crash pad in San Francisco belonging to a girl named Frankie, who is also known as Truth Hawk. The place was bizarre and frequented by numerous characters. Melton stayed there initially upon moving to San Francisco from Memphis. Quirky and sincere all of the tracks on the Turn Back Time 7" were surprisingly recorded in one take.
