Floodlights announce new album, Underneath, alongside new single, "Cloud Away"
Naarm/Melbourne-based rock outfit Floodlights have announced their third album, Underneath.
First introduced with "Can You Feel It" earlier this year, which also announced the band’s signing with [PIAS] Recordings; further glimpse into the record arrives with Dan Luscombe-produced track, "Cloud Away".
Lead vocalist / guitarist Louis Parsons says of the song, "Just like a cloud, feelings come and go, life changes and so do people. ‘Cloud Away’ is a song about hope and how even in the lowest of times, we can still find a way to navigate the winding road. It speaks to the simple beauties of life and how we use projections of the future to lift ourselves from the present."
"We wanted to explore different techniques in this song as a way to express our individual and collective evolution. Sarah's soaring vocals, coupled with whispering, swelling synths and an arpeggiator are tools we haven't used before which resulted in something desirably different, he continues. "We will always be true to our sound, something that can be done whilst also pushing the boundaries of our comfort. A massive shoutout to the brilliant Dan Luscombe for playing an important role in the creation of this song."
