Lawrence, KS’s Flooding, the trio fronted by Rose Brown, is excited to share the final preview of their upcoming EP, object 1, out July 11, 2025. “depictions of the female body,” arrives today, delving into the hope of desire over sirens of feedback and driving drums. Caught in between a state of lust and hopelessness, vocalist Rose Brown sings, “i’m sick and i know it / but it’s hard letting go of it / i tried to forget her.”
“Sexual fantasies are a form of hope,” Rose Brown explains. “If you’re ever horribly depressed, you should try having a crush on someone.”
LISTEN TO “DEPICTIONS OF THE FEMALE BODY”
PRE-ORDER OBJECT 1
Object 1 was heralded by “your silence is my favorite song” in May, which explored the fragility of a self-involved male manipulator, with buzzing guitars and haunting vocal delivery from Brown. “Your bleeding heart, my lucky charm,” is casually sung over building but sparse instrumentation as the song heads towards a breaking point.
Flooding formed in 2021, quickly releasing their eponymous debut album, featuring fan-favorite songs “Insure Me, Procure Me” and “Delayed Gratification.” Ranging from whispers and airy guitar riffs to intense lyricism and distorted blasts of noise, the record cemented Flooding’s place as a band to have on your radar. Their 2023 record Silouette Machine followed, earning praise from Rolling Stone, Treble Zine, New Noise Magazine and more for its heavy but soothing and otherworldly sound, bringing in pummeling drums and guitars just when the listener gets comfortable. With object 1, Flooding infuses pop-forward songwriting into their sound, trading spoken word for melodies and thinking like pop stars when cultivating the energy of their live show.
Flooding kicked off 2025 with a national tour supporting LA band Cryogeyser. More tour dates will be announced soon. For more information on upcoming shows, follow Flooding on Instagram at @floodingks.

ABOUT FLOODING:
Flooding is a gut feeling. Fronted by guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Rose Brown, Flooding is a 3-piece band that explores genres like slowcore, noise rock, post-hardcore, and post-punk. Brown is supported by bassist Cole Billings and drummer Zach Cunningham, who share the songwriting goal of curating abstract elements of different music styles to create a distinct composition with each album and song, rather than fitting into a particular genre. Flooding is interested in what music can allow us to feel and things it can force us to confront. Softness and harshness coexist in everything, and there’s freedom in allowing ourselves to be both at the same time.
