Flower of Love is the third album by artist, composer and musician Ian Drennan. The album will complete a trio of atypical, meditative records that Drennan has composed using partially automated software processes.

Flower of Love follows The Wonderful World, which Drennan debuted for Underwater Peoples in 2012, and Prelude to Bleu Bird Cabaret, which was released on Underwater People's sister label PIKdisc in 2013.

Uncrowded textures and sequences show Drennan's equal sensitivity to the physical and temporal elements of sound, placing his music in a lineage that includes other transitional noise, avant and musique concrète outfits who have hybridized influences towards more individualized ends.

Calling to mind the sublime sample techniques of composer Carl Stone, or the unnerving synthscapes of Coil, Drennan's music on Flower of Love is unusually expansive, bringing in the quietistic and discomfiting in equal measure.
