Francesca Corradini (vocals, acoustic, keys) and Ian Sumner (guitar, backing vocals) from The Cellophane Flowers about

Staring At The World

THE CELLOPHANE FLOWERS are the masters of female-fronted, driving, quirky pop, sometimes styling their sound as “psychopop” in interviews. The songs reflect an eclectic array of influences, from tribal drumming, to alt-rock, to dark tinged 80’s pop and have name checked Siouxsie, Sonic Youth, The Stone Roses and Throwing Muses as influences. Time and again THE CELLOPHANE FLOWERS throw in hook after hook to support the sublime vocals of Francesca Corradini. The band have recently completed the recording of their debut album 'Staring At The World' which is being released digitally on December 3rd 2012. The ten tracks were recorded and produced by David M. Allen. Dave’s extensive discography covers The Cure, Depeche Mode, Human League and The Charlatans. Mastering was by Barry Grint (David Bowie, I Blame Coco) at Alchemy Studios. Here's what the band says about the album:
