Fallows, Glenn -& Mark Treffel-
The Globeflower Masters, Vol. 2
Glenn Fallows and Mark Treffel released their first album, 'The Globeflower Master Vol. 1' on Mr Bongo in September 2021. With its lush, warm and timeless productions paying homage to classic '60s and '70s soundtrack composers, it was very well received and struck a chord with the scene's connoisseurs. Louder Than War emphatically stated, "It's impossible not to like 'The Globeflower Masters Vol. 1",' with Gigwise echoing that praise "slickly compelling retro vibes." 'The Globeflower Master Vol. 2' is the slightly edgier and more grown-up sequel to Mark and Glenn's 2021 debut album. For this excursion, the Brighton-based duo wanted to lean a little further into their European film soundtrack influences, with particular inspiration mined from the works of Stefano Torossi, David Shire, and Roger Webb. This expansion of their sound builds upon the rich tapestry of cinematic funk à la David Axelrod, Serge Gainsbourg and Morricone that fashioned Vol. 1. Here the arrangements, melodies, and harmonies have been refined; only what is needed is left.
