Romantics unite: Valentine’s Day is next weekend, dark glamour is trending, and we’re 10 days away from the new False Figure album.

Bay Area mainstays for ten years, False Figure has always captivated with their distinct brand of post-punk that draws from deathrock, dream pop, shoegaze, and even hints of heavy metal and black metal.With Incarnate, they’re serving up their dreamiest offering yet.

Like flowers blooming on a cloudy day, the album bursts with catchy melodies set against a hypnotic swirl of gothic haze. The band hasn’t abandoned their dark roots, but their sound has grown brighter and warmer, perfect for a winter month famous for celebrating love.

If you can’t wait until February 17th for a glimpse of Incarnate (I know I can’t), DJ Shorty Rock of WTFIFL has you covered with their newest single, “Flowers in Bloom” tonight at 9 pm! She’ll be chatting with Oakland’s own The Strange Ones for a full hour of Bay Area punk and post-punk excellence.
