Underneath

Naarm/Melbourne-based rock outfit Floodlights announce their third album Underneath for release on via [PIAS] Recordings.
 
Written amidst extensive touring of the UK and Europe, Australia and the US, Underneath was shaped by a surreal period in each members’ lives - full of firsts, exploring new places, playing their biggest gigs and festivals yet. Despite the transience of their new life on the road, the writing process proved a starkly intimate time marked by quiet, shared moments of contemplation. The songs that emerged represent a process of reckoning, catharsis and growth within the group, fusing the incisive societal reflections they are renowned for with more personal meditations on grief, memory and place; ultimately giving shape to myriad emotions and experiences that linger beneath the surface. Through their enveloping alt-rock soundscapes Floodlights paint a metamorphosis in motion on Underneath, while sweepingly exploring, at its core, what it means to be human.
