So much has happened since we last spoke: Worldpeace DMT, previously the solo project of London’s Leo Fincham, is now a duo with Rowan Miles, Fincham’s collaborative partner on last year’s The Velvet Underground and Rowan. Now, Worldpeace and the Femcels are being positioned as the prime emissaries of something called “laptop twee,” although that distinction might overestimate Worldpeace DMT’s relationship to both laptop music and twee music. Fincham and Miles, in response, have dropped Flowers Powers, a stopgap mixtape seemingly designed to prove that they are not “laptop twee”—implication: flimsy, tossed-off, amateur—but the die-hard ’60s pop obsessives they always said they were. Flowers Powers, by its very nature, doesn’t contain as much madcap variety as The Velvet Underground and Rowan, but it hardly feels slapdash; like a lot of great mixtapes, this feels like an exercise in proving the band’s taste after a period of increased attention. It almost certainly won’t sound like “Lonesome,” Fincham’s spare country ballad that closes the record: As Flowers Powers seems designed to convey, Worldpeace DMT are a far less straightforward band than that.
