Skeletonflowers_

Today marks the release of my third EP, Music for an Unmade Film. This EP is the result of a failed attempt to score a short film in 2019. While my score was ultimately not selected for the film, I’m excited to release it as a standalone work of music which allowed me to explore the more cinematic and atmospheric elements of the skeletonflowers_ sound.

Featuring a guest appearance on two tracks by the very special Kelsey Monson on violin.

Audio mixed by Nolan Voss and mastered by Mike Kalajian at Rogue Planet Mastering.

Artwork by my regular collaborator Anthony Hamilton.

First we dilly-dallied, then we locked in.

Ever since last year's release of the 'Future and Past Blurred' EP, I wanted to bring the opening track 'Change' to life with a full band lineup. I was fortunate enough to make that happen in December at The Bunker Studio with a group of incredible musicians.

Check out the performance on YouTube below.

This iteration of skeletonflowers_ is:
Talha Alvie: Vocals, guitar
Conor Hall: Drums
Eiki Matsumoto: Bass

Following the release of my ‘Future and Past Blurred’ EP, I’m completely ecstatic to present the first-ever live incarnation of skeletonflowers_. For this in-studio performance I was joined by some of the most incredible musicians I have ever worked with as my band, including the immensely skilled Conor Hall on drums, the multi-talented Eli Silverman-Lloyd on keys and backing vocals, and the superb keeper-of-the-low-end Allen Wu on bass guitar. We performed two songs, both from my very first EP, 2020’s ‘Digital Vampire’, at the very special Samurai Hotel Recordings Studios in Astoria, NYC, where the tracks were also mixed by David Stoller.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this possible including Simon C.F. Yu - who has one of the keenest eyes for music videography - and the rest of his team, my vocal instructor Rebecca Rapoport-Cole at for her consistent support, and Alex DeTurk at The Bunker Recording Studio for his excellent touch on mastering.

This is Istanbul. Some of this is true. Some of this is not.
