Washington, DC trio Flasher released their debut album, Constant Image (Domino), less than 2 weeks ago to stunning praise across the board. Today, the band shares a new video for their single “Who’s Got Time?,” a song about the souring of a relationship. The surreal video, directed by Adinah Dancyger, sees the three band members bound through the woods in hazmat suits, ultimately finding themselves. They’re currently on tour in support of Constant Image with Chicago friends Dehd.

PRAISE FOR CONSTANT IMAGE
“Only one of this week’s albums feels like it alters my entire brain chemistry every time the next chorus hits, and that’s Constant Image.” – Stereogum, Album of the Week
“What’s surprising—and thrilling—about their debut full-length, Constant Image, is that its social commentary would have felt just as timely at any point in the past 30 years.”
– Pitchfork (7.9)
“This D.C.-based trio’s debut has the muscle and melodicism of modern rock’s brainy, brooding pre-grunge era” – Rolling Stone
“The thrill is in the call-and-response, heard on past songs, but here weaponized like an ecstatic hall of mirrors in the final minute of ‘Skim Milk.'” – NPR Music
“The band masterfully produce politically charged tracks situated in tales of the everyday struggle of people living in America’s political seat.” – Exclaim! (8/10)
“They play hook-filled rock songs, influenced by everything from post-punk to new wave via shoegaze and indie dream pop that’ll inspire the kind of exhilaration and joy that only comes from a group of people who fully understand what your day was like.”
– PopMatters (8/10)
“The band’s gentle, impressionistic lyrics contain careful considerations of
how one might survive as an individual enmeshed in late capitalism, but the stakes of
the songs don’t reveal themselves until you’re already immersed in their bright, optimistic energy.” – Bandcamp
Head here to pre-order the deluxe edition LP available exclusively through the Domino Mart. The deluxe features the album on 150g starburst pink and yellow vinyl. Constant Image is also available as a standard LP, CD, and digitally .
