Please Plant Flowers is the upcoming album by guitarist Nicholas Mycio, recorded with bassist Kyle Colina and drummer Sam McCarthy.
The music took shape over an extended stretch of time, before any recording plans were in place, while war, displacement, illness, and death were ongoing realities in Mycio’s life and in the lives of people close to him. He did not set out to turn those events into a narrative or a concept. He simply kept writing as they unfolded. “Music lets you express things very directly because it’s abstract,” Mycio says. “You don’t have to litigate how you feel.”
