Floral Couches is the solo project of Cody Gray, a self-taught musician whose dreamy, low-tempo sound evokes the charm of a retro, flower-printed couch in your grandma’s basement. It’s the kind of furniture that might look out of place today—faded and worn—but there’s a warmth and coziness that feels just right when you sink into it. That’s the energy Cody brings to his music: a blend of old-school charm, rough edges, and heartfelt, jazzy vibes.
Rooted in the genre he describes as Dreamy Cocktail Lounge Indie, Cody’s music is the perfect soundtrack for those moments when you just want to melt into a comfortable space, drifting in and out of a daydream. His influences—ranging from Connan Mockasin and Drug Dealer to Sam Evian and Mild High Club—bring a balance of lo-fi cool and jazzy introspection, wrapped up in smooth, retro tones. While Cody’s early work leaned into synths and drum machines, he's since embraced a more organic approach. These days, his process starts with a piano or guitar, writing entire songs before layering in the production. The result? Music that feels intimate, textured, and full of soul.
Floral Couches isn’t just about the music, though—it’s about an experience. With his slow tempos and dreamy soundscapes, Cody's been dubbed the creator of "come-down music," perfect for those quiet, reflective moments. His newest album, Xtra Mild, is a testament to his evolving style. The record, six years in the making, is Cody's first vinyl release and is available in a limited run of just 100 copies, making it a collector’s gem for fans.
Whether you’re sinking into your favorite vintage couch or letting the last hours of the night drift by, Floral Couches is your invitation to slow down, get cozy, and savor the beauty in imperfections.
