The Flying Tourbillon Orchestra's members change regularly, which might explain the collective's constant deluge of fresh tunes. FTO's sound is lush — the group sees open musical space as an opportunity to insert a guitar riff, organ fill, or percussive embellishment. Hunter Costeau's scratchy vocals blend beautifully with Kelli Kofke's soprano, giving the well crafted lyrics their due; the words to "In a Dream," a firsthand account of strangulation, might also fit comfortably in a death-metal ballad, but the band contrasts the violent tale with ringing chimes, operatic singing, and bright guitars.
