Befitting its title, the new single from L.A. dream-pop trio Florals exists in the penumbra, that space between the band’s gloomy atmospherics and singer Stephanie Marie Rick’s bright, feathery vocals. “Grey” is the second single to be previewed from the trio’s debut full-length, “Kin of Mine,” made with engineer Kris Essig and coming out this summer. Florals — Rick, along with producer Ryan Koch and guitarist Joey Singleton — debuted last summer with their “Later Age” EP, and their downtempo insularity seems all the more meticulous on their new singles. With “Grey,” you imagine time-lapse film of a fog bank moving in, or the Sundays’ Harriet Wheeler bumming out with Portishead.
