FLUX HOUND is what happens when a bunch of suburban kids grow up together playing in punk and metal bands, only to form a jazz quintet decades later. The sextet drag the secrets of clandestine life into sound. Whether it’s a concept album about the sound heroin might make whirring through the veins, soundtracking the life cycle of a plant in the desert, or a broken man in his final stages of decay, the undertones of these burning dirges are exhilarating
Flux Hound’s stated aim is simple: to bring the clandestine elements of life into the realm of sound. Pretentious? Sure. But the band remains unapologetic:
“Flux Hound is forensic. Curious. Ritualistic. We ask questions most musicians don’t even know how to phrase.”

But that mission gets twisted into knots the moment you engage with Moss Opera. How is an eleven-song instrumental stoner concept album forensic?
“Well it’s about addiction, obviously. Nature’s addiction to life, and to death. We are all inextricably linked to the third universal law of thermodynamics. Entropy. So like it or not, we are both living and dying in the same breath. Might as well be addicted to it all. Also, sometimes we just like to bang our heads to loud, obnoxious music.”

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do. Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
