PEAKES deliver a soaring exploration of isolation on new track "Hole In The Floor"
PEAKES are a band that have a unique ability to take the experience of being an outsider and transform it into euphoric snippets of alt-pop brilliance, and "Hole In The Floor" is no different.
Despite its infectious groove and lead singer Molly Puckering's seemingly sugary vocals, "Hole In The Floor" is a song that isn't what all that it seems. Scratch beneath the surface of the bouncing rhythms and catchy melodies and it becomes quickly apparent that this sweet outer wrapping is masking a message.
"It’s an observation of a person who is drifting through their surroundings" explain the band of the track's story. "They are detached from the outside world and float above the people that care about them and can help them. But it’s that acceptance of knowing that the further you let yourself drift the harder you will fall in the end."
The song is ultimately a soaring deep-dive into the complications of cutting yourself off and trying to find normality in a world that is frequently full of commotion and chaos and in true PEAKES style, it does so in a way that also glistens with the shimmer of alt-pop glossiness.
