Local Review: Artificial Flower Company – Creamium
Artificial Flower Company Creamium Self-Released Street: 03.16 The Artificial Flower Company = 90s Television + Delicate Steve TAFC are an experimental project out of Provo who give old and new pop influences unexpected flavors within a low-budget recording style.
