Flour

Flour is the nickname of American Minneapolis alternative rock musician Pete Conway who wrote songs and played bass guitar in the bands Rifle Sport and Breaking Circus until the mid-1980s. He released four solo albums on Touch and Go Records from 1988 to 1994 on which he plays most of the instruments himself. Flour toured as a live band twice with a lineup that featured ex-Big Black guitarist Steve Albini on bass and former Breaking Circus percussionist Todd Trainer on drums before they went on to form the band Shellac. In the mid-1990s, Conway was part of an all-bass trio, called Brits Out Of America, along with Dana Cochrane of Mickey Finn, Amy Larson of Strumpet, and Ben Ivascu of Polica, STNNNG and Marijuana Deathsquads.

Links To Peel
Peel played a few tracks from Flour in the late 80's and early 90's and would have known about the artist due to his connection to Steve Albini, who played bass when they were on tour.
