The band ffflasher will play rickshawstopsf on Thursday, Feb. 23 as part of the annual noisepop Festival.
After releasing their 2018 album “Constant Image” to universal critical acclaim, Flasher guitarist Taylor Mulitz and drummer Emma Baker were forced to deal with the departure of founding member Daniel Saperstein, who left the band after touring for their debut record.
“I do have this sense of pride that we haven’t just thrown our hands up in the air and quit,” said Mulitz, in advance of playing at the Rickshaw Stop on Thursday, Feb. 23 as part of the annual Noise Pop Festival. “But at the end of the day, it’s worth it, because I really love making music. I love being able to travel around and share that with other people. As cliché as that sounds, that’s what keeps us going.
“We definitely had to confront some difficult issues,” said Mulitz. “Like, at one point, we discussed possibly changing our band name. But after talking it over with our label, we decided to keep going on as Flasher and I’m happy we made that decision.” Songs like the title track, “Little Things,” and “I’m Better” all showcase the fresh perspective of the band. There are still plenty of angles and veering momentum shifts, but those sharp moments are matched by atmospheric and ethereal elements that were missing in the band’s prior efforts. Mulitz even cited legendary singer-songwriter Elliot Smith as one of the album’s primary influences, a hushed presence who could not be cited as a touchpoint for “Constant Image.
