Object 1 (stylized as object 1) is an EP by the American slowcore band Flooding. It was released July 11, 2025.

Background and recording

Speaking of why the release was an EP Rose Brown said "it felt right to make it a more condensed work. It felt so different from what we'd been doing that I kind of wanted it to be an endcap or a starting-off point for future things."^[1] It was created to be a less personal release lyrically compared to the previous record. With the song "Your Silence Is My Favorite Song" in particular being somewhat sarcastic. Brown said of it "It's fun to pretend to be a piece of shit male rock idol for 4 minutes."^[2]

Critical reception

In a 7.8/10 review The Daily Music Report said the release "shows a band sharpening its focus without losing its edge."^[3] Flood Magazine added they are "blending genres with the same crafty complexity heard in their lyrics."^[4] Crucial Rhythm claimed that the EP let a "new kind of clarity through—both melodically and thematically" compared to the harsher Silhouette Machine.^[5] S.L.R. Magazine said the band infused a "pop-forward songwriting into their sound" for this release.^[6]
