Backstory:
The Flippant Coil was formed in the heart of the bustling and thriving music scene of Austin, Texas in 2010. The quintet comprises five childhood friends: Logan (vocals), Ethan (guitar), Miles (bass), Dylan (drums), and Jake (keyboard). They grew up in the same neighborhood, sharing a passion for music that turned into impromptu jam sessions in their parents’ garages. Those initial musical explorations eventually set the groundwork for the Flippant Coil. After spending several years honing their sound, they released their debut album in 2013, which quickly became an indie hit.
Genre:
Their music can be described as a fusion of Indie Rock and Psychedelic Pop. They craft songs that are melodically rich with complex harmonies and intricate rhythms, layered with a poetic depth. The Flippant Coil have become known for their intense, high-energy live performances.
Title: “Ephemeral Reverie”
Song Lyrics (Verse, Chorus):
(Verse 1)
Am Em G D
Under the crimson setting sun,
Am Em G D
Lost in an ephemeral reverie.
Am Em G D
Words woven together, left undone
Am Em G D
In the echoes of our shared memory.
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Can you see the fleeting shadows dance?
C G D Em
In the twilight, we seize our chance.
C G D Em
An ephemeral reverie, our transitory trance.
(Verse 2)
Am Em G D
Between a whisper and a sigh,
Am Em G D
We find solace beneath the starlit sky.
Am Em G D
In the silence, our truths lie,
Am Em G D
An ephemeral reverie, as time flies by.
(Chorus)
C G D Em
Can you hear the clandestine chords we strum?
C G D Em
In our hearts, the melody hums.
C G D Em
An ephemeral reverie, where we’ve become.
